It depends on you certification, I'm E&A so for me it's "Maintain skills at a rescue ready level, always have a proactive 10/20 on my zone of protection and keep a professional image at all times.", but that's more of a textbook answer, to be bold and truthful, you clean a lot when you're a life guard.

A 10/20 is a scanner pattern of your water, you look at every part of your pool every ten seconds, you have ten seconds to spot a drowning and twenty seconds to reach the GID (Guest In Distress) and began giving aid.

Some certifications don't make their guards keep a 10/20 and never even get in depth with scanning, but trust me when I say, even if your certification doesn't MAKE you keep a 10/20, if you never want someone to die on your watch, keep one anyways.
