Fox News
American Lifeguard Association director of health and safety Bernard J. Fisher II discusses just how severe the nationwide lifeguard shortage is in an interview with Fox News Digital.
"It’s going to be a total disaster in August, the hottest month of the year." One idea is to employ retirees who are willing and able to patrol the nation's pools and beaches. Fisher advised adults to always have a designated "water watcher" when the kids are swimming. Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle writer for Fox News Digital. Follow her on Twitter at @atstabile.
