What is a junior lifeguard?

In Canada, a Junior Lifeguard is a lifeguard who has their NLS (National Lifesaving) certificate but is under the age of 18--the minimum age for lifeguard certification is 16.

Typically a junior guard is hired for shift where two or more guards are needed so there can be a senior guard (over the age of 18) with them. I'm not sure about the States (but I think it is the same).

Pure water may not be a goodconductor of electricity but impure water can have lots of ionic conductors in it. Your swimming pool water is not pure water. Consider the chlorine that is being added. It dissolves into ions. Consider that lots of people have died in the bathtub when the hairdryer fell in. That's a lot less current than your local lightening bolt. Also, in the water, your head is the highest thing on the surface which helps to make you a target. Granted, in a pool, odds are that there are other things that are fairly close that will be higher as opposed to being in a lake.
