This differentiates them from life savers who partake in similar activities as a sport or practical life skill. Lifeguards are qualified strong swimmers, trained and certified in water rescue, using a variety of aids and equipment depending on requirements of their particular venue, and first aid. In some areas, lifeguards may form part of the provided emergency services response to incidents and in some communities, the lifeguard service also carries out mountain rescues, or may function as the primary EMS provider.
