Discussions on Lifeguard Certification and Safety in Public Pools
July 9, 2026
The Parliament is discussing whether the Cyprus Lifeguard Federation should have the authority to issue certificates for lifeguards. There are concerns about safety in public pools due to reports of unqualified lifeguards. The proposed regulations would allow pools to operate without certification confirmed by the Federation. This could lead to issues regarding the safety of users in these pools. The state of lifeguard training and certification requires further attention.
