Katie Takes Charge

Katie was delighted at the success of her application to become the new manager of the pool and to be the first person to hold this post.

It was as if she was putting her setbacks behind her, she was feeling much better in her mind and now she was looking forward again with optimism.

She could earn some good money for six months before restarting her course. She had so much to gain in terms of experience.

So, during March she found herself spending less time on her office duties and more time preparing for the full time opening of the pool on April 1st.

One of the attendants had left during the winter so now only it was only Kevin, George and Katie herself left on the staff.

So Geoff arranged for two young people to be recruited as attendants, using the State's scheme which subsidised the wages of first time employees. The two newcomers would be there full time for nearly six months too, at virtually nil cost to Hillview. One of Katie's first responsibilities would be to approve these youngsters and to settle them in.

Her first biggest priority, though, was Easter holiday weekend, just a couple of days after she officially started. Easter was a busy time on the site, all the caravans and chalets were fully booked and there would be a lot of visitors. Easter was prime time, and Katie was determined to show how her plans could work.

She made arrangements with two of the local business she had contacted before. On Easter Saturday and Sunday there would be sales promotions at the pool, involving two major swimwear retailers. They would be offering discounts and displaying their new ranges for the season. Their own sales staffs were to take care of customers, but Katie had to set up suitable facilities and arrange publicity.

She supervised the moving of rows of tables along two sides of the pool. There wasn't much room, and she had to rearrange the lay out to comply with safety requirements, after the site's health and safety officer made an inspection. There were so many things for a manager to think about! She printed posters in the office, and placed these everywhere on the site. Hillview did some local press and radio advertising too at this time of year, and Katie made sure that the swimwear promotion got a mention in all of this.

She was so busy that her first couple of days in post just disappeared in a blur. Kevin and George really ran the pool, and Katie didn't even pester them about cleanliness.

Easter weekend was an outstanding success. The pool was constantly busy and customers browsed the swimwear displays the whole time. Over a hundred and twenty garments and many accessories were sold over the two days, two and a half thousand dollars gross. At a twelve and a half percent cut, Hillview did quite nicely too! Pool numbers were nearly doubled from the previous year. Katie loved it that lots of bathers bought new costumes and then put them on to go in! She noticed how several ladies seemed to definitely enjoy getting into the water and to see their new purchases getting wet!

Katie was really encouraged, it seemed that she was on the right lines, and this made all her phone calls, texts and e-mails late into every evening from home worthwhile.

Her only regret was that she had no chance yet to go in the pool! She was much too busy. Katie had ordered supplies of new kit for everyone, and this batch had the words, "Hillview Holiday Park," printed on the shirts. They were better quality tops too, made from thicker material and with collars! So Katie looked smart in her new things, with the same sort of red knee length games skirt that she had worn last year. She still wore her swimsuit underneath, and took advantage of the chance to buy a couple of new ones during the promotions, at a generous staff discount

Things settled down a bit after Easter. Katie had lots to do still, in pursuit of all her plans, but first she had to see to her new recruits!

The State's welfare office arranged for two young people to attend for interview. If Katie was satisfied that they were suitable, and they were both willing, then they would start. Katie met them on Wednesday afternoon, and showed them around, outlining the job of the attendants. They were both eighteen year old Easter school leavers, being below the standard required to sit further exams. They seemed to be very quiet, young for their ages and shy, but Katie thought that she could soon build up their confidence! Billy and Rachel, they were called! They didn't know each other at all, and both were signed up to start on Monday!

All the paperwork the government department required! Katie was thorough and meticulous with all the formalities!

She ordered their kits; shirts and shorts for Billy and shirts and skirts for Rachel! Katie didn't give Rachel the option of wearing shorts like Billy! She thought that girls looked much better in a games skirt!

Hillview's supplier also offered basic swimwear which was very reasonably priced. So Katie added six items for each of her new recruits, to the order. Simple trunks and plain one-pieces in two colours, black and royal blue. "I always wear my swimsuit underneath!" Katie had told them during their first visit. "After all, you never know when you might end up in the pool!"

George noticed the look of concern on both their faces, "Don't worry," he grinned, "I never go in the pool! It's Katie who loves going in the pool!" Billy and Rachel both understood, of course, that they were employed as attendants and not pool lifeguards. Katie wondered if Geoff would query the additional cost of the order, but it was authorised and submitted straightaway for next day delivery.

Both youngsters took Katie's advice and changed on their first day into their new swimming costumes and their kits.

Katie spent their first day showing Rachel and Billy everything involved in the job. George looked after the customers, and Katie was so pleased to see him hosing and sweeping the changing area several times during the day! She was clearly influencing him as she intended! She'd never seen George cleaning before, not once!

The pool was busy too! Katie introduced her new charges countless times, as most of the bathers were regulars, chalet and caravan owners, and on first name terms with Katie herself.
"Being friendly with everyone is so important!" she enthused. "People look forward to coming back then!"

It was tea-time and Katie hadn't stopped. Billy and Rachel had spent lunch time just taking a stroll. Then, just when the pool was due to close between sessions, two families of four arrived at the door.

"You can come in!" Katie exclaimed. Then two more families came in after them! Sixteen extra bathers! Katie wouldn't bother tea-time closing today; she'd just look after reception herself!

Geoff dropped in and spoke to the youngsters before they finished their first day, then they left for the night at the same time as George. Katie was due to do the evening session by herself.
"Did you show them where the restaurant and staff rest rooms are?" Geoff chided her.

"On no, I didn't" Katie admitted.

"You must make sure they both understand break-times and their entitlement to breaks!" Geoff reminded his new manager, firmly. "You've got a management responsibility to see that they take regular breaks!"

"Sorry!" Katie responded contritely. Geoff had never spoken to her sharply before.

"I don't want to see you unwell again!" Geoff spoke more softly. "That's my responsibility to you! You pushed yourself over the edge at college, and you mustn't do that here!"

"It wasn't that!" Katie began, but decided not to go into the reasons for her taking the year off her course.

"And you're not even taking a tea break! You can't do this, Katie!"

"But we've got sixteen extra bathers!" Katie protested.

"No, statutory breaks are more important!" Geoff replied. "Now off you go and I'll man reception for an hour!"

Katie looked horrified.

Geoff was getting a little annoyed, "Now don't look at me as if I can't use a cash machine!" he told her abruptly. "So, off you go, Katie. A proper break. And the same every day. And make sure that your staff do too. That's an instruction, right?"

Katie gave Geoff her sweetest little girl smile. "Sorry, Geoff!" she replied quietly. "Can I just go in the pool then?"

Geoff's irritation melted away, "I might have known you'd want to do that!" he shook his head but smiled back. "You're a smashing girl, Katie," he acknowledged, "But you must keep a sense of balance!"

In seconds Katie's shoes and socks were off, and down the steps and into the pool she went, top and skirt on as always. Katie loved that feeling! This was the way to have a proper break!
The mums and dads in the water looked over in surprise, "Look, the girl in charge is in the pool!" she heard one say. "Look, she's still got her clothes on!"

Katie went over to join the family. "My kit means everyone can see straightaway that I am staff!" she explained. "Don't worry; I've got a change for later!"

Katie made their day better by playing with the children and then throwing a ball and getting everyone to join in with each other.

She got out at the same time as everyone else. Just time to change before she went back onto reception.

The next day Katie was a bit calmer and more measured towards everyone. After all, anything Billy and Rachel missed today could be done tomorrow.

The pool was much quieter, too. George was busy hosing the changing area, tea time was approaching and everyone had spent a proper lunch break from work.

"Come on, let's go in the pool!" Katie suggested brightly. Billy and Rachel didn't look too impressed.

"I'm not much of a swimmer!" Rachel tried to excuse them, but Katie was not to be deterred.

"Come on, shoes and socks off!" she insisted, as she bent down to remove her own.

Billy started to pull his top off over his head. "On no!" said Katie, "One of the rules, you always keep your uniform on, even in the pool! That's so everyone knows that we are staff!" Katie was so please with her own new rule and the explanation for it. She sounded so convincing.

"I always keep a spare costume and outfit in my locker!" Katie added brightly, as she splashed down the steps and into the shallow end, pushing her skirt down as it rode up onto the surface of the water.

"Can I take my shorts off then?" Billy asked politely, "And keep my top on?"

"Yes, OK!" Katie agreed. She quite liked the way boys looked, with their shirts hanging over their trunks! Kevin did the same, whenever he was in the water.

Billy joined Katie in the shallow end, but Rachel looked very doubtful, clutching the sides of her skirt at the top of the steps. Katie was jumping up and down, making the bottom few inches of her shirt wet, over her tummy. The printed logo over her breasts just about stayed dry. Billy struck out and swam uncertainly across.

"I'm a qualified lifeguard too!" Katie exclaimed proudly, "Would you like a demonstration?"

"Go on then!" Billy agreed, striking back out diagonally into deeper water. Katie dived under the surface and silently came up under Billy, deftly putting her arms under his shoulders as she surfaced on her back, turning him over and holding just his head clear of the water. She towed him over to beside the steps, pushed herself out and then lifted Billy after her by his arms, resting him gently on the tiles. His shirt rode up his chest and his trunks glistened under the lights.

Rachel looked alarmed, as if she was thinking that she was going to be next.

"Don't worry!" Katie smiled, as water dribbled all around her, "I'll never do anything to scare you! Not fancy a dip before you get changed to go home?"

George returned from the changing area. "I wondered how long it would be before Katie had you in!" he laughed, and then turning to Rachel, he added, "You've got more sense! You just stay as you are Rachel! It's not your job to go in the pool!" He dodged out of the way as Katie flicked some splashes after him.

"I'd like everyone to do a lifeguarding course, eventually!" Katie continued. Rachel looked worried again.

"Can't!" said George, "I'm allergic to chlorine!"

"A likely tale!" scoffed Katie. "I'll want to see a note from your doctor!"

"I'd like to do that!" Billy was sitting up now. Katie beamed. She knew that a new twelve week course was starting at the leisure centre soon; she would just require an agreement from Geoff for funding.

George changed the subject, "Well, talking about going in the pool, are we allowed to have initiation this year?"

Katie looked at both the newcomers in turn. "Well," she explained, "The tradition here is that new attendants get thrown into the pool! The boys wait until you're ready to go home, and then toss you in with all your clothes on!" Rachel looked even more worried than ever.

"But I think it's too mean like that, and there's been a complaint before! So," Katie concluded, "We'll have initiation, but only if everyone agrees, and when you know about it! So you can bring dry things and you won't have your best outfit on either!"

Billy was laughing now and looked like he was willing to enter into the spirit of things.

"Please don't throw me in!" Rachel pleaded, "I'll be terrified!"

"That's OK!" Katie replied kindly. "I said nothing will ever happen to scare you, and I mean it! If we have initiation, do you want to just get in by yourself?"

Rachel saw all their smiling faces and her doubts faded, "Alright then!" she agreed, starting to smile too.

"That's settled then!" announced Katie, "Initiation is tomorrow at going home time when the pool closes for tea! I'll make sure that Kevin comes too!"

The next day wasn't too busy either and both Rachel and Billy took turns running reception by themselves. The afternoon passed quickly and tea-time closure approached.

Kevin arrived; "This is my fourth initiation ceremony!" he told them all.

Katie caused great amusement when she described in detail her own experience of the year before, and how she'd well and truly got the better of the three lads who'd set out to cover her in muck!

Even Rachel seemed happy about it when the two of them disappeared to get changed, as they did when it was time to go home.

They reappeared ten minutes later to gasps of admiration. George, Kevin and Katie were all waiting by the reception desk, still in their kits, but Billy and Rachel both looked ready for a night out! Billy had a bright, snazzy shirt and very smart trousers on. Rachel had a lovely summer frock, it was a floral pattern and mainly light pink. There was a matching belt tightly around her waist and the bottom of the dress billowed out like a long skirt. Her swimsuit straps protruded at her neck. They both had bare feet.

"We are dressed in our best, and we are prepared to go down like ladies and gentlemen!" Billy announced, more or less quoting from the film, "Titanic!" and earning them both a round of applause with much laughter.

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!" Katie had tears in her eyes.

"I have the solemn duty to perform," George announced, "To initiate you both as members of the Hillview attendants fraternity!" He and Kevin lifted Billy by the arms and legs, they swung him ceremoniously backwards and forwards, feinting several times to throw him, before he did land with a huge splash in the water.

Katie squealed with delight and clapped her hands. Rachel had walked over to the steps and very nervously she tiptoed onto the first and the second, before hesitating and reaching out for the rail. The water lapped around the hem of her dress.

"You're alright, don't worry!" Katie called out, rushing over to join her. Katie held Rachel's hand and put her other arm reassuringly around her back, "Are you OK?" she asked kindly.

Rachel nodded and they both went carefully down the remaining steps. Rachel looked at the water rising up over her dress as if she could not believe what she was seeing. Katie enjoyed the feeling of wetness as much as she always did. The water in the shallow end reached just to their waists. Katie bobbed up and down several times, just to give her top a good soaking. The printed words, "Hillview Holiday Park" seemed to mark out the shape of her boobs and the vague outline of her nipples added the punctuation.

Katie put her arm around Rachel again, "Give me a little swim!" she asked, very nicely.

Rachel submerged her shoulders and struggled to keep her face up as she tried to swim. Katie put her hand under Rachel's tummy and supported her. They made ungainly progress to the far side. Splashes from Rachel's uncoordinated strokes speckled Katie's hair.

"Brilliant!" Katie hugged her young colleague. "I'll help you swim even better, if you want!" Rachel smiled and nodded. Her soggy wet dress flapped around her arms and shoulders as she stood, and hung off her in the water as she climbed up the ladder back onto the side. Billy had got out too; his clothes seemed to still look smart, despite the drenching.

The Best Initiation Ever! Everyone agreed.

"See you all tomorrow!" Katie called out, as minutes later her new charges were dry and changed. She was mopping the poolside and tidying things away. She was on reception duty again in a few minutes. She wouldn't bother changing now. Her kit felt very damp and her skirt was heavy and cold against her skin, but she quite liked the feel of it. It was very warm in the building. Strands of wet hair hung down her neck. The customers always smiled when they saw Katie like that, and most of them made comments.

"Is it raining in here? You've been swimming again, Katie! You really should get yourself a swimsuit, Katie!" She would smile coyly in reply. She always enjoyed the attention that her wet clothes appearance generated.
She'd be more or less dry by closing time, anyway.

It was good, this new job.

Katie was highly aroused that night. All the excitement of the last few days, the thrill today of initiation, the shared happiness, she was desperate for Kevin.

He thrust into her, "Keep going!" she pleaded, hoping that he would not climax too soon. "I just loved Rachel's dress in the pool!" she gasped, "That material was so nice, flowing and floating around!" Kevin's throbbing penis drove in again. "I want to swim in a dress like that!"

"You can!" Kevin murmured, "Just do it!"

"I just need to get wet tomorrow!" Katie insisted, pushing her fingers into Kevin's back. "I need to feel my best dress, wet all over me!"

Kevin's fountain of love finally burst, Katie squealed and sucked him into her with all her strength, drawing his torso over her excited breasts.

Kevin sank back. Katie wanted him more. But she'd have to let him sleep now. She tingled with anticipation, thinking of him waking up hard and ready for her again. The tingle spread even deeper when she tried to think of a way of wetting her dress tomorrow. There must be a way.

Katie slipped into sleep. At last. In her dream, she was at work. She was naked and lying on the pile of foam mats where Roy had first shagged her, so quickly and unlovingly. George, Billy, Kevin and Geoff were all there, caressing her body with warm soapy water. They all had their trunks on. In her dream, eight hands and eight sets of fingers lingered over every inch of her. They all explored her intimate parts, rubbing her inside, while she writhed with pleasure and called out, "More!"

Billy started to pull his trunks down, "On no!" Katie dreamed herself saying, "You have to keep your trunks on!"

She awoke, brushing her hand over Kevin's bare groin. She rolled onto him. "Come on Kevin!" she whispered, "I want you again." Kevin stirred.

"I'm getting wet today! I must do it! My best dress is getting wet!"

Kevin stroked his penis and thought about what Katie just said, wishing that another erection would rise.

Work would be interesting for them both today!
