What is the purpose of a DEFINE Zone in a swimming pool?

The purpose of a DEFINE Zone in a swimming pool is to establish a designated area for lifeguards to monitor effectively. This specific zone allows lifeguards to concentrate their attention on a defined section of the pool where activity may be particularly high or where safety concerns are identified. By concentrating their monitoring efforts, lifeguards can respond more promptly and efficiently to any incidents that may occur.

This approach helps enhance overall safety in the aquatic environment, ensuring that lifeguards remain aware of the dynamics within their assigned zone, thus facilitating quick intervention when necessary. Establishing such zones can improve the management of lifeguard responsibilities and improve the safety of patrons in the pool area.
