1. Lifeguard A lifeguard is someone who stands guard over swimmers in a pool or ocean. A lifeguard's job is to ensure that people stay safe while they swim. If a person gets into trouble, the lifeguard pulls them out of the water and tries to get them back to shore safely. 2. Surf lifesaver A surf lifesaver is a person who helps others who have fallen off a boat or ship. When someone falls overboard, a surf lifesaver jumps in after them and saves their life. 3.
