Hi native speakers.

I have always had problems with the simplest words of everyday life in English as a translator as I have not lived much in an English-speaking country.

Today's question concerns the job at a public swimming pool which includes watching over swimmers.

I have found in wikipedia that lifeguard also applies to swimming pools but somehow I feel this word odd in that context. (Maybe I'm influenced by Baywatch)
Also found a job description for "pool attendant".
So how do you call this person in everday language?
Thank you.
