Lifeguards Are Not Babysitters!

Lifeguards are trained to respond in emergencies—but they should never be your child’s only line of defense at the pool.

Drowning can happen in seconds, and even the most attentive lifeguard can’t watch every child every second—especially in crowded or chaotic environments.

Parents and caregivers must stay within arm’s reach of young or inexperienced swimmers at all times. Active supervision saves lives.

Let’s work together to keep our kids safe.

Remember this: If it's play time in the water for them, it's work time for you. If you want to relax in or around the water, designate a day when you can go without them. If they are there, you are on the clock and watching at all times.
