Lazy River Life Guards ? ?

[007]

When you make a lazy river its technically a pool and the safety rating is extremely difficult to control.
Most lazy rivers cover a good distance, how are you meant to make it safe without having like 50 life guards spread across it?

Also lazy rivers typically only have one or a few entry/exit points, the majority of its route wont be next to a path or have any edges.
This means under the current system, you need to go out your way to add paths to lots of areas throughout your lazy river so you can put down a lifeguard point.

Is this how Frontier intended it to be? It's just overkill. I'm at 10 guards on my river and it's not even at a 50% safety rating and the river itself isn't enormous, its fairly average for a water park.

I don't think 10 is dramatic, I went to Volcano Bay in September and there were deffo more than 10 around that one. I think they could do another type of seat that's more spread than distance though. They should also add more powerful jets for the lazy rivers.

Images would help.
Ill admit I initially struggled with the Lazy Rivers. Im not enterily happy with how they Function (and I get the feeling FDev probably arent either).
The fact that its a Swimming depth Pool, is kind of irritating, because you gets guests killing themselves trying ot swim Against the current provided by the jets. I havent built anything outlandish as yet, most of mine have been covered by a single Guard. Once they are working better, I may revisit the idea of making some really cool ones.
My mini ones are doing well though, spamming a ton of scenery around them helps a lot. But the number of guests not being 'lazy' is still problematic I feel.
Early days though!. Im sure it will be addressed in the future.

1. I agree that swimming depth for a lazy river is kinda weird, wading works for most or a new depth of chest depth.
2. I proposed in my own post about roaming life guards. Basically pick two points (that maybe is limited in distance) that the life guard patrols allow the life guard to cover more area. But you still need quite a few to cover the area.

You can add lifeguard posts instead of lifeguard chairs. I might be wrong but I think the guards float between the posts.
