Why lifeguarding is important

National Lifeguards guards are always in training to keep their skills, knowledge and fitness sharp. They are required to keep important certifications such as their lifeguard certification, CPR and first aid up-to-date. Lifeguards must stay focused at all times while scanning the water for signs of trouble. Read this article and watch the accompanied video of a lifeguard saving a young boy who falls out of his tube in a crowded wave pool.

Thanks to her keen focus and ability to spot trouble, she was able to identify the problem arising and save the boy despite the many distractions around her.

Many times children's drownings happen within close proximity to their parents, so is it always important for parents to be watching their children while they are swimming even when lifeguards are there. Its not only young children that are at risk of drowning. Even the strongest of swimmers could be swept out by a RIP current or just have a bad day that can lead to an accident. Read this article and watch the video about a Barrie man who swims past the buoy line at a beach and has to get rescued by the Lifeguards that were supervising that day.

Life guarding is a very tough job that involves being alert and attentive at all times. Scanning and watching the water all the time is physically and mentally draining to these Guards.

Lifeguards face many dangers while doing their job everyday, and don't always work in the best conditions. The most common danger; the sun. They will be under constant sun for most of the day and this puts them at serious risk of heat exhaustion. This is why it is important for the guards to stay hydrated and put sunscreen on so that they can work and perform to the best of their abilities in case of an emergency.

Lifeguards go through these things every day as part of their job to keep the swimmers at their facility safe. Graphical user interface is sometimes shortened to GUI. The user chooses an option usually by pointing a mouse at an icon representing that option.
