Use this lifeguard observation checklist to evaluate on deck performance and supervision at pools and aquatic venues. Review positioning, mobility, attentive behavior, bottom scanning, and distraction control. Verify equipment including radio, whistle, rescue gear, and uniform. Assess rotations and handovers to maintain continuous coverage. Ask about scanning strategy and current supervision factors such as glare, weak swimmers, obstructions, and groups. Capture comments and signatures for continuous improvement.
