Explanation:

The American Heart Association though does not mandate a minimum age for learning CPR but generally accepted age of 9 years is deemed to be appropriate for a child to perform CPR activities. This categorisation is solely based on the child’s body strength to perform CPR at that age. Junior lifeguards are particularly designed for kids in the age group 09 to 17 years. This lays the foundation of acquiring a skill set to qualify for future lifeguard programs. This course is an important component of the complete lifeguarding program. The official age for a lifeguard starts at 15 years as mandated by American red cross. Anyone aspiring for a career in lifeguarding activities can visit the centre along with document age proof. The major difference between a junior lifeguard and a lifeguard is in terms of activities undertaken and the age ceiling mandated. While the main task of a junior lifeguard is to help people with swim lesson and being an aid to the instructors the lifeguards are entrusted with the serious nature of saving lives of people in danger. Four different types of lifeguards are as follows pool lifeguards- Lifeguards engaged in rescuing mission at the pools for public swimming sessions. Beach lifeguards- They are engaged in beach activities. Canoe lifeguards- These are special units that operate from Kayaks and Canoes (a type of narrowboats) in the area inaccessible by motorboats. Island lifeguards- They are engaged in inland water bodies during times of specific needs such as competition, joint outing etc.
