Quick trivia: which area turns over lifeguards most per hour — slides, main pool, or the lazy river? We run 15-minute rotations with the 10/20 scanning rule to keep vigilance sharp, and after Saturday’s audit the lazy river edged out the slides by two extra swaps.
Lazy river usually wins because the walk paths are tight; to shave more time, stage the relief at the unload and run a rover so handoffs happen without breaking the ‘10/20’ scan. Are you timing the walk-ups on the slide tower or just chair time? It’s like stealing second — shorter lead, quicker jump.
