Abstract
A lifeguard observation station having a support structure, a platform member and stairs. The platform member is supported by the support structure and is elevated from ground level. The platform member has a first side, with at least a portion of the first side of the platform member being configured to be positioned proximate to or in-line with an edge of a pool or body of water. The stairs extend between the ground level and the platform member. The support structure is offset from the stairs. The lifeguard observation station provides a lifeguard unimpaired line-of-sight to swimmers or bathers in the pool or body of water whether when the lifeguard is positioned on the platform member or on the stairs.

A lifeguard observation station comprising:
- a support structure;
- a platform member supported by the support structure, the platform member being elevated from ground level, the platform member having a first side, with at least a portion of the first side of the platform member being configured to be positioned proximate to or in-line with an edge of a pool or body of water;
- stairs extending between the ground level and the platform member;
- the support structure is offset from the stairs;
- wherein the lifeguard observation station provides a lifeguard unimpaired line-of-sight to swimmers or bathers in the pool or body of water whether when the lifeguard is positioned on the platform member or on the stairs.
A lifeguard observation station comprising:
- a support structure;
- a platform member supported by the support structure, the platform member being elevated from ground level, the platform member having a first side and a second side, with at least a portion of the first side of the platform member being configured to be positioned proximate to or in-line with an edge of a pool or body of water;
- stairs extending from the second side of the platform member, the stairs extending between the ground level and the platform member, a bottom stair of the stairs has a longitudinal axis which is essentially parallel to the edge pool or body of water at which the lifeguard observation station member is positioned and essentially parallel to the portion of the first side of the platform member configured to be positioned proximate to or in-line with the edge of the pool or body of water.
A modular lifeguard observation station comprising:
- a base member with a lower portion of a staircase secured thereto, the base member having an upwardly projecting securing member;
- a platform member with an upper portion of the staircase secured thereto, the platform member having a downwardly projecting securing member;
- the upwardly projecting securing member of the base member cooperates with the downwardly projection securing member of the platform member to allow the platform member to be properly secured by the base member;
- the lower portion of the staircase and the upper portion of the staircase form a continuous staircase when the upwardly projecting securing member of the base member cooperates with the downwardly projection securing member of the platform member.
