Whistles & Lanyards

Few pieces of equipment are as crucial to lifeguards as the guard whistle and lanyard. When lifeguards see someone in danger, using a whistle is the quickest way to get everyone’s attention and help the person in trouble. Lanyards always keep lifeguard whistles within easy reach and make sure the whistle can’t float away in the water.

Lifeguard Whistles and Lanyards

Since the whistle and lanyard are so critical for lifeguards, not just any product will do. Both the whistle and lanyard have to be durable and work in and out of the water. The whistle also needs to be loud enough to be heard over swimmers and across long distances.

In 1883, whistles were developed with peas or small balls inside them to help carry sound over long distances. In 1985, the Fox 40 whistle was developed without the pea, promising to be more hygienic. This aspect is important for lifeguards since the moisture that can get inside the whistle from hopping in the water and blowing the whistle often can create a breeding ground for bacteria. Pea-less whistles can be cleaned and are considered more hygienic.

Many lifeguard whistles are also pea-less because a pea inside the whistle is one more part that can break. Any breakage can be a disaster when lives are on the line.

Lifeguard whistles are typically tested both in and out of the water and produce clear, loud sounds in both environments. Some go up to 115 decibels (dB) so they can be heard over splashing water and numerous swimmers. Many lifeguard whistles also have simple designs consisting of durable materials, since a breakdown can be a serious danger.

Most  lifeguard lanyards and whistles are plastic and made from materials that won’t rust or get damaged with frequent water exposure. Many whistles also have cushioned mouthguards to make them more comfortable for long shifts and frequent use. 

Lanyards are crucial pieces of equipment because they can keep the whistle nearby and ensure it doesn't get lost. The Lifeguard Store also has breakaway lanyards. This type specifically ensures the lanyard does not entangle you if it catches on something. It's one extra detail to keep you and the people you protect safer.
