At public swimming pools, beaches, or private country clubs, there usually is a lifeguard on duty anytime people are swimming.

Lifeguards perform two important services: They are trained on lifesaving techniques in the event that somebody should accidentally drown. Plus, they maintain order so that nobody gets hurt from horseplay, running or other prohibited behavior.
