Designated Supervisor

One of the QUALIFIED LIFEGUARDS as per MAHC Section 6.3.3.1.1 may be designated as the LIFEGUARD SUPERVISOR in addition to fulfilling the duties of QUALIFIED LIFEGUARD.

For any AQUATIC FACILITY, someone must be designated to make decisions and provide oversight of expected performance. When an AQUATIC FACILITY is required to have two or more QUALIFIED LIFEGUARDS, one of the QUALIFIED LIFEGUARDS may be designated as the LIFEGUARD SUPERVISOR as long as they comply with the training requirements. The QUALIFIED LIFEGUARD cannot fulfill LIFEGUARD SUPERVISOR duties while on scanning duty. For small AQUATIC VENUES, the MAHC was sensitive to requiring an additional person simply to be the LIFEGUARD SUPERVISOR. In this scenario, one of the QUALIFIED LIFEGUARDS is designated as the LIFEGUARD SUPERVISOR to make decisions when appropriate.
