For 51-100 swimmers, how many guards are required?

• A. 3 Guards
• B. 5 Guards
• C. 2 Guards
• D. 4 Guards

Answer: (D)

Lifeguard staffing follows a simple ratio: one guard for every 25 swimmers. When you have a range that could go up to 100 swimmers, you plan for the worst end of that range to maintain proper supervision and quick response. With up to 100 swimmers, four guards are needed to ensure each area is watched and to allow for rotations and breaks without compromising safety. Three guards would only cover up to about 75 swimmers, so four guards is the safe choice for the 51–100 swimmer range.
