Which of the following is NOT typically a responsibility of a lifeguard?

Managing facility maintenance is not typically a responsibility of a lifeguard. The primary focus of a lifeguard is on monitoring swimmers' safety, preventing drowning or accidents, and responding to emergencies by administering first aid as needed. Lifeguards are trained to identify potential hazards in the water and to ensure a safe environment for all patrons. While lifeguards may engage in teaching swimming lessons in some facilities, this is not a core responsibility and varies by job description. However, the maintenance of the facility—such as cleaning, repairs, pool chemical management, or structural upkeep—is generally the role of maintenance staff or facility managers rather than lifeguards. Their expertise is concentrated on lifeguarding duties to maintain a safe aquatic environment.
