Look the Part

Where do you get your lifeguard swim suit and what kind do buy? If your place of work does not bring in a swim suit salesperson to give the lifeguards sample suits to try on, be sure to ask what type of suit is acceptable before heading to your local sporting goods store to buy one.

You will be wearing your lifeguard swim suit for at least eight hours each day, so pick the most comfortable suit. Generally two-piece suits, if allowed by your employer, are the most comfortable. Many are reversible, in which case they have covered elastic edges and are even more comfortable than most two-piece suits.
