So what's the point of having "Lifeguards" in an area where nobody is allowed in the water?
There are people allowed in this area, swimmers (and splashers, and ankle-dippers)
the point is to staff lifeguards in specific areas so swimmers can have supervision
Areas outside of this "swim area" are for "others" - surfers, skimboarders, windsurfers, etc. where a guard/township is not responsible (or liable) for your safety
I think it makes 100% sense to separate these groups or there would certainly be surfers going over and into swimmers
Why not instead have a "Launching/Landing zone" with Lifeguards to keep the little kids out?
can't patrol everywhere (without lots more expense): not enough resources to have lifeguards watching swimmers, and other guards patrolling launch areas to ensure no one launches (sans board)
Hey: i don't make the rules. If i did: only beach catamarans would be allowed in the water - and swedish bikini teams
