a lifegurds whistle BLOG 8

A life guard’s weapon of choice fighting the forces of chaos is often his/her whistle. A lifeguard’s whistle is many things other then just a loud thing that you blow into. A whistle is the thing that sets you apart form the people that are just there for a swim, its way of communication, and authority.
The main reason why I think a lifeguards whistle is the most important tool in their arsenal is because it protects you as well as others form danger. When a lifeguard goes in to same some one he or she first blows her whistle to alert other life guards of what’s going on, because most lifeguards don’t want to be the only one going in after a 500lb man with no back up. Also when a life guard blows his whistle every one looks and knows what’s going on preventing people form getting in the way.

So in whey if you think about it when you go to a pool the only thing that could be between you and a life and death experience is the lifeguards whistle.
