This is probably one 'elf n' safety story I agree with. If a lifeguard can't see the other side of the pool, then how can be in a position to save their life?

I would say the sensible compromise would be to sling a rope across the middle of the pool when it rains, but then i'm sure someone will swim under it, drown and have their family sue the lifeguard.

Is the lifeguard at one end of the pool though? Can't they put the chair half way down like where tennis umpires sit so (s)he should have a good view of both ends?
