When should you give verbal instructions to guests using a waterslide?

Providing verbal instructions to guests using a waterslide each and every time they ride is essential for ensuring their safety and the overall smooth operation of the facility. This approach allows lifeguards or staff to communicate any specific safety guidelines, potential hazards, or operational changes that may be relevant at the time of the ride.

By giving instructions consistently, lifeguards reinforce the necessary safety measures and create a clearer understanding for guests about how to properly use the waterslide. Each experience can be unique, as factors like weather conditions, the number of guests, or any updates to safety protocols might change from one ride to another.

In contrast, only providing instructions when asked might not cover essential safety aspects or recent updates, while offering them once at the beginning of the day could lead to gaps in communication, especially if staff or conditions change throughout the day. Similarly, restricting instructions to peak hours could leave guests at risk during quieter times when supervision may be less intense. Therefore, consistent verbal instructions help ensure that all guests have the necessary information to enjoy their experience safely.
