Pool Lifeguard (Victoria Point)

Our Y Lifeguards enjoy keeping a close eye on all our precious community members and often get to know our members by name. They're reliable and vigilant and always ready to jump in (literally) if necessary. We have plenty of heroes we're super proud of but it's not all reacting to emergencies, our Lifeguards are great at identifying potential risks - and taking steps to reduce those risks.
