Ocd Lifeguard Hq, Corona del Mar

I snorkel/swim 🤿 FOR EXERCISE every day from big CDM 🏖️ beach to little CDM & back. I like to snorkel-swim because it makes it more interesting &fun - to see the fish & sea life down below as I swim by. I would think the lifeguards on the beach at little CDM would be familiar with me by now. Same swimsuit & head gear . Same routine etc. 

But every time I arrive at little CDM they radio for the yellow boat to come & make sure I'm ok. Despite NO signs of DISTRESS.This is getting a bit ANNOYING lately. 

Hey lifeguards, please leave me alone. I'm 56-yo & I've been doing this for decades & NEVER needed rescuing.
 I'm pretty sure I will NEVER need help.
 I absolve you of any liability if anything ever happens to me. 
Just relax. Peace out. ✌️
Everything is OK 👌👍😎

BELIEVE IT OR NOT "Lifeguards urge caution after pulling nearly 200 from surf south of Huntington Beach pier " The Orange County Register

Lifeguards like to increase their numbers of so-called rescues when sometimes all they do is wade out in the water and say "are you OK" or in other cases they rescue a person who doesn't even need to be rescued. in fact one time a lifeguard at San onofre tried to initiate a rescue for me when I didn't need a rescue . I was doing very well but their macho self-congratulatory attitude sometimes makes them think we're all weak swimmers accept them.... I was actually a better swimmer than the Lifeguard who thought he needed to rescue me I actually told him to leave me alone

OC to LA, Latinos ruin beaches, heavy-handed bossy lifeguards compound problems "From drones to drunks: Huntington Beach police will be ready for problems at U.S. Open of Surfing" - The Orange County Register

The Lifeguard problem is actually a top-down issue I think it comes from high sense of entitlement lifeguard supervisors. Latino problem is simply one of too many Latinos who have a reckless disregard for other people I also have a problem with throwing their trash away. For some reason San Diego beaches are much better and most lifeguards much nicer

7/7/15 little corona del mar beach & lifeguard stand #7...the newport beach & corona del mar lifeguards are usually pretty good...fairly nice...mostly respectful...I haven't had any situations with them that I would call negative...they usually keep their distance and simply watch the water and beach...dedicated to keeping us safe...I wish this was true of all lifeguards

ARE HB LIFEGUARDS EXCESSIVELY CAUTIOUS? "Lifeguards cautiously reopen Huntington Beach after shark encounter -" MyNewsLA.com

read story at
http://mynewsla.com/orange-county/2015/07/11/lifeguards-cautiously-reopen-huntington-beach-after-shark-encounter/?google_editors_picks=true

By the way, what are the legal rights of citizens in regard to being in the water? Can lifeguards legally forbid people from entering the water? Shouldn't it be "swim at your own risk"? I personally had an encounter with a lifegaurd by the HB pier who swam out to me and warmed me of a potential riptide. I told him I was fine,and not concerned,but he kept telling me I should move over to another area but I wanted to stay by the pier & bodysurf the big waves. I said are you telling me I must do so or are you asking me? He said it wasn't legally required so I said "If I have a legal right to stay here,I will do so".and then I kept telling him "I have a legal right to be here". He kept calloing me "dude"in a condescending manner, and I kept saying,"Sorry I'm not leaving I have a legal right to be here." He added,"its my boss who wants you to move" So I said,"Tell your boss I said NO",and waved up at the lifeguard stand on the pier,assuming that's where his boss was..." finally the dude left,and stopped calling me dude in a disrespetful manner. I don't think he liked it when I told him I was a better swimmer & stronger than him,& he wouldn't have to rescue me. He was a KID! I'm 48-years old.Not Latino! Get the picture!,
