What is the minimum number of lifeguards required for a pool with 151-250 bathers?

For a pool that accommodates between 151 to 250 bathers, the guidelines recommend having a minimum of four lifeguards on duty. This requirement is based on ensuring adequate supervision and response capabilities in larger crowds, enhancing the safety of all patrons in the facility. Lifeguards can distribute their attention and responsibilities more effectively with this number, allowing for quicker responses to emergencies, thorough monitoring of the pool area, and assistance in managing bathers safely, especially in a busy environment. By having four lifeguards, the facility is better equipped to handle unforeseen incidents and maintain a higher standard of safety for everyone present.
