A lifeguard is responsible for the safety of people who may be in or around a body of water.
A lifeguard typically stands on a lifeguard stand and watches people.
They are responsible for warning people who may be in danger, providing first aid care, and notifying authorities of an injured person who may be in danger.
Lifeguards are often stationed near construction sites, beaches, pools, lakes, and rivers to keep people safe.
Lifeguards also may patrol in boats.
