Lifeguard
Duties[edit]
A lifeguard's key duties on a beach (usually as part of a team, but in some places, lifeguards may occasionally be required to work on their own) are to:[4]
Enforce rules in order to anticipate problems/injuries
Maintain concentrated observation of the duty area and its users in order to anticipate problems (this will enable the lifeguard to intervene with one of the drowning prevention measures) and to identify an emergency quickly.
Supervise the use of other equipment when allocated to that duty (such as water slides or any other activities taking place)
Carry out rescues and initiate other emergency action as necessary
Give immediate first aid in the event of injury to a bather or other incident
Communicate with bathers and other users to help fulfill the above tasks
