What should a lifeguard do if they find the water is too crowded for effective scanning?

In situations where the water is too crowded for effective scanning, the best course of action is to implement more lifeguard assistance. This approach addresses the safety concerns associated with a crowded area. By having additional lifeguards on duty, the team can enhance their surveillance capabilities and improve response times to emergencies. This collaboration ensures that lifeguards can cover more ground collectively, making it easier to monitor swimmers and identify any potential dangers or incidents.

Utilizing multiple lifeguards allows for better communication and coordination, ensuring that every part of the crowded area is being observed. It also helps in managing incidents more effectively should they arise. A unified team effort increases the overall safety of the environment, as more eyes are watching over the swimmers.
