Abstract
A method of training a lifeguard to properly view an area of a swimming pool or body of water and recognize a swimmer/bather in distress. The method includes: positioning submersible devices or other objects on a bottom of the swimming pool or body of water according to an established grid or pattern; observing the submersible devices to make observations; analyzing the observations to evaluate the ability to see the submersible devices under varying environmental and density conditions. The observation trains the lifeguard to recognize the swimmer/bather in distress in the swimming pool or body of water to minimize the risk of the swimmer/bather drowning.
