Subject: RE: Do we really need lifeguards at the pool? SlowMark - 2011-12-17 7:51 PM I just got home from my daughter's high school swim meet were there were 3 lifegaurds on duty. A pool full of accomplished swimmers surrounded by team mates and 300+ spectators and 3 guards watching from their chairs. However, in the morning I'll swim at a health club with no guard. That's because people who swim alot, and spend alot of time in/near water understand that a lifeguard or two can really come in handy, especially those who train alot. Just having someone aroudn who won't panic if they have to do CPR is a huge plus. Most drowning deaths are preventable. |
