Lifeguard Sayings FAQ
Which lifeguard sayings work best on a shirt?
Short ones read best, like Guard hard. or We rule the pool. Save the longer quotes for the back of the shirt.
Can each guard’s name go on their shirt?
Yes. Many staffs put the pool or beach name on the front and each guard’s name on the back.
When should we order lifeguard shirts?
Order a few weeks before the season opens. That leaves time to approve the design, collect sizes, and have the shirts arrive for the first shift.
Can I get help with the design?
Yes. Start in the Design Lab, and Custom Ink’s Inkers can help with fonts, colors, and placement.
