FOLLOW UP: Shouldn't There Be Butts in Those Chairs?

Recreational Water Facility Lifeguard Requirements

(Editor’s Note: The photo was citizen-submitted. The table of requirements for on-duty lifeguards is from the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, Legislative Rule 64 CSR 16 – Recreational Water Facilities. I have added a link to full documentation of LR 64 CSR 16 below the included table.)

The pool, with three empty lifeguard chairs, holds 151,000 gallons of water.

Added Editor’s Note: Lifeguards on duty are NOT required to be in the lifeguard chair for their shift. For those with questions and concerns about the pool, the entire legislative rule is available online here:
