i think some pay in between get the cheapest hs kid you can find for 10 bucks an hour and 200k is probably good for beach lifeguards. it’s gotta be difficult. you want people who are dependable and professional. it’s probably a net gain for society, like highways, to have a system of lifeguards.[/quote]
Funny, at all the public pools I’ve ever been to during the summer months, all the lifeguards were some HS kid that probably didn’t get paid much.
Of course, they were always expert and very strong swimmers because they were on the swim team and or played water polo and all had water rescue, CPR and first aid qualifications.
