That isn't true, there is a legal requirement for how many life guards should be on guard, particularly when certain areas or activities are on in the pool.
I dont think its right to be whinging about not being able to swim in the deep end because there were only 2 life guards when some police officers where in the paper only yesterday for failing to provide adequate number of life guards at a police swimming pool which was holding a community event for local children to swim and 2 were found dead in the deep end because they didnt provide enough lifeguards but let them swim anyway. They were no older than 15 and are now dead because the police who were meant to be supervising thought it would be fine to let them swim instead of following guidelines.
