Beach Lifeguard careers
A Beach Lifeguard is responsible for ensuring the safety of beachgoers by monitoring swimming areas, identifying potential hazards, and performing rescues when necessary. Their role includes educating the public on beach safety, providing first aid, and enforcing local beach regulations.
Lifeguards often work outdoors in various weather conditions and must maintain high levels of physical fitness and strong swimming skills. They operate rescue equipment, communicate effectively with emergency services, and sometimes assist with crowd control during busy periods.
