Water slides running requires how many additional lifeguards?

• A. Add 1
• B. Add 2
• C. No changes
• D. Remove lifeguards

Answer: (B)

Water slides create distinct areas that require focused surveillance beyond the main pool area, so you have adequate coverage for both the entry/queue and the slide exit. With one lifeguard watching the slide entrance, there’s still a separate zone at the bottom where riders splash down and might need assistance getting out or being checked for distress. Having two additional lifeguards—one at the top to manage access and safe starting flow, and one at the bottom to monitor the landing and respond immediately—ensures quick intervention if anything goes wrong and keeps the slide operations running smoothly. This pairing reduces blind spots and aligns with how slide supervision is typically structured.
