 This 2001 report considers "whether lifeguards are truly effective in preventing drowning and other aquatic mishaps, and whether the value of providing lifeguard protection outweighs the costs." Topics include a brief history of lifeguarding services in the United States, patron surveillance as a component of lifeguarding services, the economic costs of drowning deaths, and the legal implications of providing lifeguard protection. From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/lifeguard/lifeguard.htm Topics: Outdoor Recreation, Public Health & Safety Last updated Sep 9, 2009 Miami Beach Life Design: History
