After a white wine spritzer and citrus infused pedicure, Phil Henderson hit the beach recliner and was finally ready to enjoy a long day by the community pool. That was until he noticed a major “leisure hazard” across the deepest depths of the shallow end of the pool. Meredith, Phil’s timeshare neighbor, was asleep on her pool float and heading southbound for Suzanne Velasquez’s Aqua Zumba class. Without hesitation, Phil dropped his crossword newspaper clipping and rushed to the edge of the pool to help. Seated with his feet at ankle’s length in the water, Phil performed a strong but controlled “45° Flamingo Flutter Kick.” Soon enough, an elegant row of waves rippled across the water, gracefully drifting Meredith to safety without waking her from her shrimp cocktail coma. And the potential “leisure hazard” was stopped in its tracks. From that day forward, residents all across the timeshare community celebrated Phil for his noble gesture. And he was forever remembered as the man who sacrificed his fresh, 1-hour pedi to preserve the leisure of the Vero Beach Community Center.
