Their duties include supervising the pool area, enforcing pool rules, assisting with emergencies, and sometimes helping with pool maintenance. This position is ideal for students or young adults seeking experience in public safety, recreation, or aquatic management. Training in CPR and first aid is usually required, and strong communication and observation skills are essential.
