10/20

A lifeguarding term describing the 10/20 Protection Standard set by Ellis & Associates. Lifeguards must:
- Within 10 seconds: Scan their zone and detect any signs of trouble.
- Within 20 seconds: Be able to reach and intervene with a guest in distress.

Following the 10/20 Protection Standard to recognize and respond to any aquatic emergency within a total of 30 seconds has proven to save lives.

This 10/20 Protection standard is also the basis to create and validate lifeguards' zones of protection, which are specific areas of water assigned to each lifeguard. If a lifeguard cannot maintain 10/20 within their zone, it must be adjusted.

The foundation behind the Ellis Scanning Method.
The head lifeguard said our zones aren’t 10/20-compliant, so they’re adjusting and revalidating them before opening.

He’s got that 10/20 locked down.

According to the internet of 2024, they say that stereotypical 10 year old kids go to Sephora. Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure. Some 10 year old people do go to Sephora, and I don't imply to have anything against them. This is just made for entertainment and is a joke.

Person 1: Omg, did you see those stereotypical 10 year old kids?

Person 2: Yeah, why are they at Sephora? Oh well, hopefully they don't attempt a riot for the last supply of Drunk Elephant.

when you have a project or anything really due at a certain time and you don’t wanna do it whatsoever, you always say “eh i’ll do it in 10 minutes”. 10 minutes as in an hour before the class that it’s due in.
