The lifeguard on duty is required to do all they can for guest safety, unless doing so puts them at great risk. The only reasons why a lifeguard might not save your child would be:

* the lifeguard is incompetent, and does not know how to properly react in the situation, or

* there is a hazard that prevents them from doing so, such as a chemical spill (unlikely), or * simply, the lifeguard cannot save your child. If the injuries are too great, or if the guest in distress was under water/not breathing/choking for too long, there is only so much the lifeguard can do. Remember, lifeguards are first responders only. They are only meant to rescue and monitor ABCs or perform CPR/Heimlich/AR until the on-park/on-beach EMT arrives or until paramedics arrive. Lifeguards, although important to water park/beach/lake safety, legally can only do very little, and do as much as they can for guest safety.

If a lifeguard refuses to help your child, it may be because your child doesn't seem to need help. Leaving the stand to help a child that was fine in the first place is dangerous to other guests who may suddenly need rescuing. However, if you truly feel that your child is at risk, and the guard refuses to help, find a guard that will, if possible, and complain to management.
