What should lifeguards consider when supervising a multi-level pool?

When supervising a multi-level pool, it is crucial for lifeguards to consider the varying skill levels of swimmers. Different levels of swimming ability can impact safety in a multi-level environment where depths may vary significantly. Some swimmers may be comfortable in deeper areas, while others may struggle in more shallow waters. By understanding the diverse skill levels present, lifeguards can effectively monitor and ensure that all patrons are in safe areas for their swimming ability, thereby preventing accidents and enhancing the overall safety of the swimming environment.

Other factors, like the design of the pool or the average age of patrons, while important, do not directly address the immediate safety concerns posed by the skill differences among swimmers. Additionally, the color of swimsuits is unrelated to safety and has no bearing on the lifeguard's ability to provide effective supervision. Thus, focusing on the varying skill levels of swimmers is paramount for effective pool supervision.
