Which benchmark applies to lifeguard managers regarding orientation and in-service training focusing on surveillance and drowning recognition?

• A. Lifeguards
• B. Lifeguard managers
• C. Both
• D. Neither

Answer: (B)

Orientation and in-service training on surveillance and drowning recognition are responsibilities of those who supervise lifeguards. Lifeguard managers design, deliver, and evaluate these training activities to ensure staff can effectively scan, recognize drowning cues, and execute the emergency action plan. Lifeguards do receive training too, but the benchmark described targets the managerial role that oversees training programs. Choosing lifeguards would misplace the responsibility, and choosing both doesn’t fit because the question specifies the role that administers the training.
