Pool Police tee featuring lifeguards in swimwear inside a badge emblem — a funny, retro-style shirt for summer and pool lovers.
The story behind this design
A bold, badge-style design that brings lifeguard culture to life with humor and nostalgia. Two illustrated figures in swimming attire and lifeguard gear flank a life preserver inside a shield-shaped emblem. The left figure holds a rescue buoy, the right holds a rescue can — both rendered in white silhouettes against the black background. The word 'Pool' arcs across the top of the badge in a thick serif font, 'Police' anchors the bottom, and the life preserver sits centerpiece. The design has a vintage patrol or police-badge vibe, complete with rope detailing around the emblem border. The retro illustration style and strict black-and-white palette give it a playful, 70s-inspired aesthetic that celebrates the quirky authority of pool supervision.
Who it's for
Lifeguards, swim instructors, pool managers, and anyone who works at or loves the pool will see themselves in this. It's ideal for current lifeguards or those nostalgic for pool days. Gift it to a lifeguard friend as a badge of honor, to a college student who worked pool safety, or to anyone with a summer sense of humor. Works for beach trips, pool parties, or just showing off a fun side gig.
