The Regulars: Froggy a.k.a. Spitter a.k.a. The Silver Bullet

I've become a bit of a pool paparazzi these days, which I'm sure my coworkers and patrons think is a bit creepy, but there are some people who visit the pool quite often that you need to know about. These are patrons who have become memorable in on way or another, and in some cases, even earned themselves a nickname (of which they have no idea). The first of these is probably the most important, who we lifeguards affectionately refer to as Froggy, Frogman, Frogger, Spitter, or The Silver Bullet. The Silver Bullet name comes from the nearly see-through silver speedo he used to wear to match his silver swim cap, until he replaced it with an odd flesh-colored one that turns brown when it gets wet (as you can see above). The frog nicknames come from the way he swims (he literally looks like a frog that's about to drown), and Spitter is what he does whenever he lifts his head out of the water to take a breath. He's been coming to the pool for as long as I can remember, but I have yet to hear him speak or find out what his name actually is.
