The extended Responsibilities of a Lifeguard: It’s Not Just About Saving From Drowning Nothing can be soul satisfying than going to a beach. It is a duty of the authorities and Aquatic facility management to do everything possible to make it secure against drowning and other hazards on the beach. Lifeguards are not just to save a drowning person, it is also about managing the beach in a best possible way, lifeguards know when to stop people from swimming or to place a warning sign of high tides or other beach related signs.
