Yes, they can be charged with a breach of duty of care or negligence. My girlfriend has been a lifeguard for three years and that is something she learned during training.

Do you need a social security number to be a lifeguard?
You don't need a social security number to be anything. You need a social security number solely as an identifier for tax purposes.
An employer will ask for a social security number because it must pay some taxes on your behalf as well as pay your portion of payroll taxes and withholding directly to the US Treasury.
If your parents never got you a SSN you can simply apply for yourself at the nearest Social Security office. You will have to bring a birth certificate to prove that you are a US citizen.
Yes all lifeguards are required to know infant, child and adult CPR.

Unfortunately, some do. This can happen if rescuing a panicky victim, or when swimming too close to rocks or piers.

Drowning can also occur when animals such as jellyfish, anemones, or sharks are involved.
