What power over the beach do lifeguards have?

Question

i just wanna no what they can do on the beach. like if they can arest people or just ask them to leave or something

Answer 1

Depending on the state some states do give arresting powers to the lifeguards but don't think they did not have to have special training they did most of the time they have to attend the police academy not as intense but they do get trained

Answer 2

the lifeguard is on the beach to save lives. if there is a jerk that makes his job of watching the beach more difficult, he can eject the person. most cannot arrest, as that act takes them off of their duty of lifeguarding.
