Although there are no oceans or white, sandy beaches on campus, lifeguards still play a huge role in aquatic life at IU.

The Recreational Sports Program hires lifeguards for fall, spring and summer semesters, usually employing a staff of about 40 lifeguards.

Requirements for student-teacher ratios, administrators and counselors were removed.
