lifeguards

Pool safety personnel

Lifeguards are people employed to watch over swimmers at pools or beaches, ready to rescue anyone in distress.

They typically sit in elevated chairs for better visibility and are trained in water rescue and CPR.

The lifeguard blew her whistle at the kids running on the deck.
