17 Strict Rules Female Lifeguards Must Follow At All Times

Professional Lifeguard Rules Are More Strict Than You Could Ever Imagine. From Ice Baths and Dress Code, To Their Beauty Regimen...
Subscribe: goo.gl/Hnoaw3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A day in the life of a lifeguard can be pretty intense. They have to be hyper-vigilant and focused because their jobs are literally life-saving. As you can imagine, lifeguards have strict rules they follow to keep them in shape and ready to come to the rescue. They also have some hacks and tricks of the trade that they swear by. For instance, you won’t see a female lifeguard with a bun full of wet hair. They’ve shared horror stories about major hair loss from putting up wet hair. They also have beauty regimens that keep their skin soft and moisturized while working in the chlorine and saltwater all day. If you look in a lifeguard’s bag, chances are you’ll find this one key item they don’t leave home without. We’re talking about Vaseline. It’s crucial for preventing chafing from wearing a swimsuit all day.
Lifeguards are expected to be in top physical shape. Endurance, stamina, and strength are crucial for a lifeguard on a rescue mission. A lifeguard’s workout routine is vigorous and intense. But it has to be so they can be our water heroes. Another absolute must-have for lifeguards is a good pair of sunglasses. In fact, sun protection is paramount during a lifeguard’s shift. And hydration is essential. Some lifeguards drink over a gallon of water a day. In addition to water safety and accident prevention, lifeguards must know first aid and CPR. They have to be trained to recognize heat exhaustion and swimmers in distress. These are just a few of the strict rules female lifeguards have to follow on the job.

I'm a lifeguard and you actually have to be able to swim 300 yards, breaststroke or freestyle, and tread water for 15 minutes, 10 without hands, and 10 without legs. And that's just for pool lifeguards, they've started to make it MUCH more taxing on every lifeguard, ESPEATLY beach lifeguards, and it's pretty obvious and clear as to why that is.

[@xannahowx]

[@evekeister-miller2433]

As a professional lifeguard, trained by the Red Cross, YMCA, and Jeff Ellis and Assoc. (people who train Disney and Kings Island), I can tell you this is true. However, they're focusing more on beach guards. I've literally never used vasoline or tried to workout on breaks, because I work at 3 different pools and we have inservices every single week. It really is just the opinion of one beach lifeguard in FL

[@xannahowx]

Wow

[@krazikatladi3729]

[@stazibelvin3404]

Their video should’ve mentioned how parents need to watch their kids. When I worked at a public pool most incidences were from parents not watching their kids or thinking their flailing around in the water is just playing. Parents, please watch your kids and don’t turn your back on them or expect lifeguards to parent them. Yes we will but we get pissed when we have to save a kid when their parent is within 5 feet of them and is just talking to their friend.

[@shaylynmalone3159]

That's an understatement. 99% of my weekly rescues or preventions are because parents aren't paying attention to their young ones or because of stupid teenagers, even though I'm a teenager.

[@anne-christinelabbe4549]

Haha yes thats true !! And me is when they say watch my kid for me while i go to the bathroom 🙄 like yes imma only watch youre kid so the other 50 peoples ish can drown. 😂

i, myself, am i female lifeguard. i work for a pool thats open year round and out of the year ive worked at the establishment, ive only made 3 saves. the american red cross test that i had, we had to do 300yds of breaststroke/freestyle non stop, grab a brick from 7ft and bring it back under 1min 15sec, and tread water w no hands for 2 min i make small talk all the time (we just cant look at them) and i personally just wear a moisturizer. i also do not have vasaline in my bag but i have chap stick i also def not in shape tbh. but i can still make saves if i need to. luckily, i have a building which gives us a lot of ac and breaks.

[@katiesullivan922]

I’m almost 15 and will be taking the Red Cross certification before this summer when my pool opens. Of the 14 years I’ve been at the pool, I’ve only seen a handful of saves, as it’s a family oriented pool where parents are keeping track of their kids.

[@EinSofQuester]

You shouldn't only wear a moisturizer. You should also wear a swimsuit.

[@alaina_paige]

Here’s a story about a female lifeguard: My friend, her little brother, me and my little sister were at our local country club in the pool, and we were there for about 30 minutes so far swimming. Her little brother started having difficulty in the deep end, and he was screaming and couldn’t get himself up above the water. I look over at the lifeguard, and it appeared that she had snuck her phone on duty and was not paying any attention to him. She was on her phone. I had to swim all the way across the pool to save him. The lifeguard still had no idea what was happening. I’m possibly the reason he is still alive today. It is absolutely disgusting what she did.

[@paigeleighbarrow2645]

dang she sould have been fired. I have had to remove guards from stand for having phones or chewing gum. I hate it when they do this, most of them don't understand how vital their role is to the lives of people at their parks

I’m a lifeguard myself and none of this is true. Everyone needs to follow the same rules. Yes we do intensive training it it’s not around 100 hours. It’s more like 80 hours. but also every you have to train to keep fitness up. And we don’t spend all day guarding the beach or pool. Now I come from Australia and our age limit for lifeguards is 13.

[@talia._alysa0149]

Lucus Poocus. Bondi beach?

[@EinSofQuester]

WTF? 13? Are you joking?

[@addisonphillips4913]

As a female lifeguard, I had similar training. It included a 10 lbs brick test under 2 minutes from a 12 foot deep pool, treading water for 3 minutes with no arms, swimming the 500m daily, passing every rescue, and some hard spinal rescues. You gotta be in shape

[@megangallas5084]

I was a lifeguard at my local waterpark for 3 years and these aren’t musts. They are recommended and not only for just women. Men too. But most rescues you experience or witness are because of a lack of adult supervision. I can’t tell you how many children and even teenagers I have saved because their parents weren’t nearby or didn’t know how to swim especially if it was at the bottom of a slide with our deepest pool.

[@et2843]

As a lifeguard trained by the Royal Canadian Lifesaving society I can truly say these “rules” are totally false. It’s not just female guards that follow these “mandatory” lifeguard rules; basic personal care is a must, lifeguarding is a demanding job you have people lives in your hands everyday and are constantly in tough conditions. Also, at least in Canada our standards to become a lifeguard are much more rigorous, after all this is a not a job you want to squeak through to get certified, you can get sued or worse for failure to maintain standard of care. Maybe next time don’t take the opinions of one specific guard and apply them in a gender stereotyped manor to a profession you obviously didn’t research enough of.

We were in Daytona Beach last year and there was this metal boards in the water that we weren’t notified about and two of my cousins got cut by it, and then there were jellyfish in the ocean that stung me and my cousin wherever we walked they ended up leaving spots.

I am a female & I was a lifeguard for 6 years.. most of this is common sense (sunscreen, sunglasses, water, training), and the other is just suggestions. I worked for pools, so i can't say for the beach stuff. I have no clue what they are talking about face cream and beauty stuff. I never heard of the vaseline trick. We didn't wash off after every rescue or change swimsuits when they got wet, I mean we are in and out of the water all day! We only ever exercised on breaks if we were bored, we only had 5 -10 mins breaks each hour and that goes by so fast. Never heard of that brand of swimsuit, we got ours out of catalogs for lifeguards, I think our brand was tyr? We were never told not to eat big, but it just came naturally to eat small and snack throughout the day cause our breaks were only 5-10mins long. NEVER heard of anyone who did "ice baths".... ever
