Lifeguards are required when youth are participating in swimming-related 4-H activities.
- Lifeguards must be certified.
- A lifeguard must be at least 16-years-old and have the appropriate current certification (Lifeguard Training, First Aid, and CPR/AED).
- Beach lifeguards need to have water safety instructor certification from the American Red Cross or equivalent instruction.
- One lifeguard is needed for every 25 people in the water.
- One adult (not necessarily lifeguard certified) for every 10 youth is needed for overall supervision.
