Red Squirrel Aug 2022 6:20pm, 28 Aug 2022 22,336 posts	0 Red Squirrel I'm an open water lifeguard and did rescue board training this morning at the lake where I work. I'm still buzzing! I'm a small creature, so I learnt from an early age about the benefits of leverage and it seems to work - with a few wobbles. We did take it v seriously but it was also great fun. Happy squirrel.
