Senate Passes Bill Lowering Minimum Lifeguard Age

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Senate has passed a bill that would allow 15-year-olds to work as lifeguards, a move sought by the state's tourism industry. The measure's supporters say the change will increase the number of potential lifeguards for pools and waterparks, particularly at tourist destinations in Wisconsin Dells. Current state law prohibits 14- and 15-year-olds from working as lifeguards.
