lifeguard
Poolside safety watcher
A lifeguard is a person trained to rescue swimmers in distress and prevent drowning, typically stationed at pools or beaches.
Lifeguards watch the water, enforce safety rules, and respond to emergencies: The lifeguard blew her whistle at the kids running on the pool deck.
The job is associated with summer work and, in popular culture, with tanned athleticism.
