Which fatigue indicators should trigger a rest for lifeguards?

Increased energy.

Hyperfocus.

Perfect scanning.

Slowed reaction time, poor scanning, yawning, irritability, and reduced concentration.

Fatigue reduces vigilance and slows how quickly a lifeguard can notice and respond to a drowning event. When a lifeguard shows slowed reaction time, scanning becomes less thorough, yawning signals sleepiness, irritability can disrupt communication and decision-making, and reduced concentration means missed cues. This combination directly indicates the ability to monitor effectively is compromised, so taking a rest helps restore alertness and reduce risk to swimmers.

In contrast, increased energy or hyperfocus point to higher alertness, and a perfect or flawless scan is an unrealistic standard that wouldn’t itself indicate fatigue.
