Aquatic Attraction Lifeguarding focuses on emergencies in water that is no more than how deep?

Aquatic Attraction Lifeguarding focuses on emergencies in water that is no deeper than three feet. In that shallow range, rescues rely on reach, throw, or assist techniques and getting the person to safety quickly without needing deep-water swimming or advanced spinal handling. The depth limit defines the scope of the training and the rescue methods used—deeper-water skills belong to other lifeguarding contexts. So three feet is the appropriate depth limit for this focus.
