Best Answer

Because public Swimming Pools are run as a business. In business, the owner and staff have a 'duty of care' to ensure the safety of everyone on the premises.

The life-guards are there to rescue anyone who gets into difficulties while using the facility.

Indoor swimming pools can use bromine. You can't use bromine on outdoor pools because there is no cyanuric acid in bromine. In other words, bromine molecules would have a very short life, almost worthless, in an outdoor pool.

What is the swimsuit in panfu?

Well, if you go to the Swimming Pool on Panfu and get into it, all you do is walk on it. But, if you have the swimsuit, you can swim in the Swimming Pool when you get into it! Just talk to the Life Guard at the Swimming Pool and he'll ask you to find the parts for the Swimming Suit, so you can swim! Hope I've helped :).


Is it safe for dogs to swim in a swimming pool?

Well, MY dog goes swimming all the time. So do all my friends' dogs. If your dog is really little though, I wouldn't recommend it. My dog is six pounds. The safe way to let any dog swim in any water is with a dog life jacket on and under supervision. Swimming pools do however, present danger to dogs, as does any water but swimming pools are dangerous to dogs because unless there is a special ramp for them to get in and out alone (or shallow end with access to dry land) they should not ever be left alone with access to the pool even with a dog life jacket to protect them. Too many dogs die by drowning every year, many of them in swimming pools and certainly if they had been wearing a dog life vest, they would probably still be with us.

What are the precationary measures in swimming?

1. Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy or with a lifeguard present. 2. Don't practice breath-hold underwater swimming. Due to varying partial pressures of gases under deep water, it can cause shallow water blackout. You will not know when this happens, and you will go unconscious underwater. Having a lifeguard around is not a green light for breath hold swimming. They are a life guard, not a paramedic. Even if they were, there's no guarantee of revival if you pass out or drown. People have blacked out in pools before with a lifeguard present and still have died.


How old do you have to be a life guard?

Usually, junior lifeguard at 14, lifeguard at 16, and Water Safety Instructor at 18. Private pools and some municipal pools have their own certification courses and tests. The YMCA's/community pools/beaches usually require Red Cross Lifesaving certification. Most places also want Red Cross First Aid/CPR training as well.
