a lifeguard firstly saves your life if it is in danger, they are expertly trained first aiders, CPR and all type of rescue techniques. they are there as a counter measure to reduce the likelihood of a hazard occurring. and without them many people would die, or be seriously injured- fact. think about a pool where someones drowning, or has just fractured their spine, without lifeguards no one would know what to do, and if they had a slight idea in their heads, they would very most likely cause further injury to the person or death most likely.

Because even good swimmers sometimes get in trouble. People can develop cramps that prevent them from moving their legs or arms normally, people get sick, disoriented or exhausted. Some people, especially children or people under the influence of drugs or alcohol, don't exercise good judgment and may play too rough and injure themselves or others. People diving into a pool may strike their heads on the bottom of the pool and be rendered unconscious. People running around a pool may slip on the wet pavement, fall and be seriously injured.

A lifeguard is trained to respond to a water emergency. Some people don't respond well, or cannot physically respond safely or correctly. You need a lifeguard for safety.
