lifeguard chair

Poolside elevated seat

A lifeguard chair is an elevated seat, typically on a beach or at a pool, that gives lifeguards a high vantage point to watch swimmers.

The height allows them to scan a wide area and spot trouble quickly.

Most are simple wooden or metal structures with a small platform and ladder: She climbed up to the lifeguard chair to start her shift.
