haven't you watched Bondi Rescue ? There are lifesavers all over the place.
The amount of swimmers dragged from the surf is staggering. Only takes a minute to drown.

I wouldn't call a lifeguard on duty "in loco parentis"
Of course he/she is - to ensure water safety.
Like lolipop men and women are there to ensure road safety.
The lifeguard has a specific duty to all swimmers,and no more,but someone in loco parentis has a responsibility to care for the child as a reasonable parent would.
I do think you probably need more lifeguards than usual in a wave area,because it is very easy to get into difficulty, but with the layout of that particular pool with the slides and underwater tunnels it would be impossible to monitor everyone anyway.
Ban swimming then
Well, we all take slight risks all the time and I haven't suggested it is a good idea to do otherwise, but I see lifeguards as a bonus (might be handy if I fainted in the water or something)not an excuse to behave irresponsibly.
