Everyone in the gym wears a mask (mandated in our state in the gym) however, one of the guards spent most of the hour I was swimming in the chair (in between breaks) with the mask off, unless she had to speak to the other guard. She's taken short mask breaks in the past, but this was ridiculous. All member have to wear the mask in the gym, while working out, on the deck, etc. and an employee of the fitness center doesn't. I'm surprised the other "main" guard has let this go, since he never removes his mask.
There is no doubt that trained, professional lifeguards have had a positive effect on drowning prevention in the United States.
Thanks for the primer on drownings like I'm your 10 grade social studies teacher you're trying to impress. Nothing you quote serves as proof to your assertion (which may be correct). Since I've taken care of more drownings, by a factor of 100, than you have please try harder next time.
