Are there lifeguards on Egypt beaches and how strictly are swimming rules enforced?

TL;DR
Egyptian beaches are well-patrolled with lifeguards every few meters, mandatory buoy boundaries, and a rescue boat beyond the buoys. Rules are strictly enforced.
What the community said
At the Pickalbatros resort, lifeguards are stationed not only at the pier but also on two floating platforms near the end of the buoy line.

Lifeguards are stationed every 5 meters along the beach and actively monitor swimmers, blowing whistles when rules are broken. Buoys mark the swimming boundary, and a dedicated rescue boat with a lifeguard patrols beyond them.

Life jackets are available on the pier for weak swimmers — ask the staff on site.

Swimming beyond the buoys is generally not permitted regardless of swimming ability. Lifeguards enforce the boundary uniformly rather than making exceptions for experienced swimmers.
