Use this lifeguard observations checklist to document 10-minute supervision audits at pools and aquatic facilities. Record site details, date and time, staff observer, and lifeguard on duty. Assess scanning and movement, body position and posture, attentiveness and distraction, adaptation to high risk users and obstructions, and overall supervision quality. Verify rescue equipment is carried, uniform is appropriate, whistle and name badge are visible, and note environment concerns. Summarize findings, capture corrective actions, and support training, coaching, and compliance with your aquatic safety procedures.
