Summary/Abstract: Lifeguards are often young people who have just begun their career. The responsibility they shoulder along with several factors distracting from or disrupting their basic duties may cause reduced security at the swimming place they are responsible for. An average member of the public seldom realizes how stressful lifeguards’ work is and what risk it carries. Even though lifeguards seem to guarantee safety and security, swimmers often evaluate them poorly.
