AT POOLSIDE WE PROMISE TO:

  • Always be on guard and remain focused on our primary responsibility of protecting lives. Please understand that this is why we cannot stop and talk. 
  • Always wear a rescue tube, carry a mask, and have gloves accessible to us.
  • Always sit in an elevated lifeguard chair or patrol at the edge of the pool. This enables us to be more aware of visibility issues and rotate our positions accordingly.
  • Attend regular training events to practice our skills and stay on the cutting edge of aquatic safety.
  • Be here for you and keep you safe.
