Subject: Lifeguard requirementWhat is the lifeguard requirement for the lifeguards working an open water swim. I know that an ocean swim requires one lifeguard for 35 swimmers and it is 50 per lifeguard. That is not my question. I am a certified Red Cross lifeguard, but what is required for the lifeguards in a sanctioned usat event? Our insurance says to talk to the Red Cross and the Red Cross says it depends upon the insurance company, but the Red Cross also says there is another certification for water parks, that should be taken before the event. Even though waterpark is part of the standard Life Guard certification training. Not that it is touched on much in the book or the videos or the training. Any help?? |
