Plain-English Summary

Open water lifeguards would be officially recognized as first responders and emergency personnel, similar to firefighters and paramedics. This recognition could help these workers access benefits, training programs, and support services typically available to other emergency responders who work to rescue and protect people in beaches, lakes, and other open water areas.
