How can lifeguards promote water safety among guests?

Lifeguards play a crucial role in promoting water safety through proactive engagement with guests, and providing educational materials and conducting safety briefings is an effective way to achieve this. By offering resources such as brochures, handouts, or visual aids explaining safety rules and procedures, lifeguards can help guests understand important concepts such as swimming skills, the dangers of diving, and the significance of supervising children.

Conducting safety briefings at the start of pool activities or during specific times of the day serves to reinforce safety procedures and remind guests about the rules to follow while enjoying the water. This method not only raises awareness but fosters a culture of safety that empowers guests to take responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others.

In contrast, other approaches like ignoring minor infractions could lead to larger safety issues, simply hiring extra staff may not guarantee safety awareness among guests, and limiting the number of guests in the pool, while it can be a safety measure, does not actively educate or inform guests about proper water safety practices.
