What should lifeguards emphasize to ensure swimmer safety?

Emphasizing the risks associated with specific diving techniques is crucial for ensuring swimmer safety. Diving can be a fun part of water activities, but it also carries inherent dangers, such as the risk of head injury or striking the bottom or unseen objects in the water. By educating swimmers about these risks, lifeguards can help prevent accidents and injuries.

Awareness of safe diving practices, such as ensuring the water is deep enough and free of obstacles before diving, is essential. Lifeguards should also instruct swimmers about proper diving techniques and spacing out divers to minimize the risk of collision. This focus on safety helps create a safer environment in and around the water, ultimately reducing the likelihood of accidents and enhancing the overall swimming experience for everyone.
