Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa Traveler Review

Lifeguard on duty - not really!

My family and I just got back from our vacation in FL (Feb15-18 '08). We stayed at a 2-bdr villa in Saratoga Springs resort. The amenities are great and we were truly having a magical experience up until we had a nightmare incident. My 2 sons (ages 6 and 8) were swimming in the High Rock Springs pool when my younger son after going through the slide panicked and was gasping for air. Good thing my older son was right behind him and tried to get him. He cried for help and I immediately went to their rescue. All this was happening right in FRONT of the lifeguard ON DUTY. He was talking to someone before, during and after the entire incident!!! My husband had to tell him that our sons were already drowning and he didn't even know it! We spoke to the Recreation Manager and he even defended the guy! That maybe he was talking to one of the guest. Unbelievable! So don't trust the lifeguards on duty if you want to keep your children safe in their pool. My older son was traumatized by this incident and we keep telling him that he did a brave thing by saving his younger brother.
