The air is warm, moist, chlorine-tinged. How "immersive" is Lifeguard going to be? Well, whether you dip into the pool or no, you will get wet. The Lifeguard (Adrian Howells, who originated, wrote and directed the work) will, like the lithely agile Ira Mandela Siobhan (The Swimmer), plunge vigorously and splashily into the water, but the more lingering impact of what is said, done and shown seeps in long after any dampness has been towelled away.
