While both roles focus on water safety, Splash Pad Attendants primarily oversee splash pad areas and ensure children's safety during water play. Lifeguards have a broader scope, supervising swimming pools and performing rescues. Certifications like CPR and First Aid are common to both, but lifeguards require specialized lifeguard training. The work environments differ mainly in the type of water facility, with splash pad attendants working in splash pads and lifeguards in pools or beaches.
