Which of the following is NOT a duty of lifeguards related to swimmer safety?

Providing medical treatment is not a standard duty of lifeguards related to swimmer safety in the context typically understood in aquatic facilities. Lifeguards are trained to ensure the safety of swimmers through proactive monitoring, enforcing rules, and being vigilant about swimmer behavior to prevent accidents or incidents.

While they do receive First Aid and CPR training to respond in emergencies, their primary responsibilities focus on preventative measures and ensuring a safe environment rather than administering medical treatment. In most cases, when a medical emergency occurs, lifeguards will follow established protocols to summon emergency medical services (EMS) rather than provide extensive medical care themselves. Their role prioritizes immediate safety and effective communication to ensure that qualified personnel can handle medical situations appropriately.
