Choosing The Perfect Lifeguard Swimsuits For Women

By Marci Glover


If you're a strong swimmer, a great summer job to have is to be a lifeguard. You get to spend your days at the beach or the pool and you meet new people all the time. Sometimes you may even have to save a life. However, like with any job, you need the appropriate clothing and the right lifeguard swimsuits for women can make your job much easier.

Lifeguards need a wide range of skills. Their primary responsibility is to know how to save swimmers in distress. This is why they should know techniques for rescuing people from the water. They should also be in great physical shape and be especially strong swimmers. Because emergencies don't always happen in the water but can come in the form of, for instance, a heart attack on the beach or a fall by the side of the pool, lifeguards also know first aid. As enforcers of rules that will ensure everyone's safety, they need to be able to work with people and to command a great deal of respect.

Working as a lifeguard means that you'll be spending your days mainly in the sun by the pool or on the beach. This is why great sun protection is a must. However, you'll also be active, so your clothing should be comfortable and practical.

Like the stars of 'Baywatch', many female lifeguards prefer the traditional swimsuit. This is a one-piece designed for swimming and an active lifestyle. It's not too revealing, which makes it a great choice in more conservative environments. It usually has a racer back to prevent the straps from slipping. Wider straps are more comfortable and also provide good support for your bust, which is especially important when you're running.

A great choice if you don't like wearing one-piece swimsuits is the tankini. It's more versatile and provides an excellent solution if you have a short upper body or a long back, because it's easier to adjust the suit to your body type. Some types even come with a bottom in the shape of a hipster with longer legs, so you don't have to worry about showing more skin than you'd planned to.

Some lifeguards choose bikinis. These have the advantage that you can avoid awkward tan lines. However, they're really only suitable when your job entails enforcing the rules more than it does rescuing. Bikinis aren't the most practical when you're out battling the waves because they can slip off very easily.

Normally lifeguards wear swimwear in red. These may have the word 'lifeguard' printed on the front for easy identification. Some lifeguards prefer suits in navy blue and you may also find swimwear that is red with a navy trim. Many manufacturers make swimwear that is reversible, so that it's red on one side and blue on the other.

It's important to check with your employer what the dress code for lifeguards is. Some employers will only allow the traditional red one-piece, for instance. Others are more open to variation. Then, within the framework of your employer's rules, choose the suit that you feel most comfortable in, because this will be your uniform for every day.
