Lifeguarding at a Waterpark: The Untold Story

Lifeguarding at a Waterpark is about the first waterpark built in Houston, TX. WaterWorld opened in June of 1983. This book tells of the rag tag crew of guards working there. All of the rescues, bikini babes, parties and wild life of a group of guards that went on to win 15 straight Lifeguarding Championships. The book is filled with funny stories about what happens at a waterpark, during work and after hours. It's 528 pages long with 629, mostly color, photos. It is well worth the read. “OMG...Outstanding F*%@in job on the WaterWorld Book! Wow...Just WOW! Talk about wonderful almost forgotten memories coming back! SPIDER you hit this one outside the park! Fyi If you haven't ordered your WW book you really, REALLY SHOULD!” - Patrick Orlaska WaterWorld Guard "I finished reading the lifeguard book written by Spider Michaels... if you haven't read it... you need to. WaterWorld was my life for so long... I'd do it all over again!! The book is fantastic and I can't wait to get my own signed copy." - Joni 'Radar' Waggoner WaterWorld Supervisor "Lots of great memories! Thanks for the laughs Spider, you truly are one of a kind!" - Carrie Tefteller Benavidez WaterWorld Guard "While I was always a little intimidated by Spider, I admired his leadership (those other guards WORSHIPPED him - and the nicknames and his competitive spirit in lifeguard competitions, etc. made work fun). I mostly kept my distance from him (God forbid, I'd end up on the wrong end of one of his pranks), but I heard through the grapevine here and there about his antics - I could tell he was a pretty funny guy - and I loved the "jokester" in him. I realized now... having finished his book... that I didn't know THE HALF of it! It was a good read." - Annie Godwin Bell WaterWorld Guard "This book is Vintage Gold. Brings back so many memories of the classic 80's-90's when the music was awesome and we all had few worries. Immerse yourself into our world of lifeguarding. You won't be sorry!" - Debbie Byars Leibham WaterWorld Guard "I found it very hard to put this book down and read it in less than 3 days and I can't help but say thank you Spider and everyone who contributed to this book. When people from our generation say the word WaterWorld, I believe your name is not too far behind in the discussion and now everyone knows it." - David Neff Parking Lot / Pyrotech Foreman
