The setup

A quiet soak becomes an ordeal when a lifeguard treats a tiny jacuzzi like a dangerously crowded swimming pool.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

A gym member settles into a jacuzzi, only to find that lifeguard Frank supervises every movement with whistles, binoculars and a bullhorn. Frank invents hazards in the shallow water and ropes off half the tub so another member can swim miniature laps. Even standing up draws a warning. When the frustrated bather mentions a foot cramp, Frank launches an elaborate rescue with flotation gear, drags him around the tub and administers unwanted resuscitation. Frank congratulates himself on handling the emergency and finally takes a dip, giving the exhausted member a chance to escape.
