Do lifeguards watch children at Egyptian resort pools and beaches, or is it the parents' responsibility?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
In Egypt, lifeguards at the pool and beach don't monitor individual children — supervision is entirely the parents' responsibility, especially in deeper sea water.
What the community said
Some parents say they never leave their kids unsupervised at the pool or sea, treating it as standard practice for travelers with kids.
today
Pier lifeguards don't check a child's age or height the way waterpark slide staff do — if a parent stays close to a 6-year-old in the water, no one intervenes, but letting a child swim alone into deeper water is entirely the parent's risk.
today
Kids and adults swimming together in the pool is normal and staff won't say anything about it.
