Choosing The Perfect Lifeguard Swimsuits For Women

By Marci Glover


Being a lifeguard can be a very satisfying summer job. After all, there aren't many people who can say that they spend their days at the pool or on the beach and get paid for it. It can be a physically demanding job too and you'll need the right gear. This is why it's important to choose the most suitable lifeguard swimsuits for women.

Lifeguards need a wide range of skills. Their primary responsibility is to know how to save swimmers in distress. This is why they should know techniques for rescuing people from the water. They should also be in great physical shape and be especially strong swimmers. Because emergencies don't always happen in the water but can come in the form of, for instance, a heart attack on the beach or a fall by the side of the pool, lifeguards also know first aid. As enforcers of rules that will ensure everyone's safety, they need to be able to work with people and to command a great deal of respect.

You'll spend most of your time on the beach or by the poolside. You'll also be in the water quite a lot, so you need to be in great physical shape. It's essential to wear sunblock while you're on duty but you also need comfortable clothing that makes it easy for the public to identify you as a lifeguard.

Female lifeguards traditionally wear a one-piece swimsuit. It's a comfortable choice because you don't have to worry about the suit riding up or straps slipping down. Wide straps and a racer back provide excellent bust support too. Another important benefit of the one-piece is that it's less revealing and more professional looking, so that the public will take you seriously and respect you.

A growing number of lifeguards opt for the tankini instead. This is a very comfortable style because it provides a better fit if your upper body is longer or shorter than average. It's also versatile because you can mix and match tops and bottoms. Boy shorts are perfect because they don't ride up that easily and provide good coverage. However, they leave rather unsightly tan lines.

Some lifeguards choose bikinis. These have the advantage that you can avoid awkward tan lines. However, they're really only suitable when your job entails enforcing the rules more than it does rescuing. Bikinis aren't the most practical when you're out battling the waves because they can slip off very easily.

The traditional color for lifeguards to wear is red. Navy is another color choice and you may even combine the two colors. For extra versatility, choose a swimsuit that is reversible. Special suits for lifeguards usually have the words 'guard' or 'lifeguard' or a cross printed on them so that they stand out as uniforms.

It's important to check with your employer what the dress code for lifeguards is. Some employers will only allow the traditional red one-piece, for instance. Others are more open to variation. Then, within the framework of your employer's rules, choose the suit that you feel most comfortable in, because this will be your uniform for every day.
