TFS builds cadre of certified lifeguards

Tallulah Falls School continues to add to its roster of certified lifeguards. This group of young people provide the safety presence necessary to operate the natatorium. 

All lifeguards are American Red Cross trained, said Natatorium Director Katie Ralston. 

“They help with a variety of aquatics related activities, including providing a safe environment for the swim team practices and meets, and recreational swim time for the boarding students,” Ralston said. 

Several of the lifeguards are also certified Water Safety Instructors; this specialized group assists with swim programs, including after-school clubs, the Torrents club swim team and the TFS Aquatics Summer Swim League.

Assistant Natatorium Director Harrison Butler manages the lifeguard group, Ralston added.
