This study was conducted to examine the depression levels of lifeguards working at different levels. The sample consisted of 150 women holding bronze and silver lifeguard certificates authorized by the Turkish Underwater Sports Federation and who voluntarily participated in the study. This study, based on a quantitative research method, utilized a cross-sectional survey model. The Beck Depression Inventory was used to determine the depression levels of lifeguards working at different levels and certified by authorized training centers affiliated with the Turkish Underwater Sports Federation. The Beck Depression Inventory was prepared online (Google Forms). During the data collection process, the prepared forms were distributed to participants via various digital platforms. The responses obtained from the participants were recorded directly through the online system and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was observed that the depression score among lifeguards was 17.42 ±15.79, and their depression levels were at the minimal depression level. However, when considering the individual depression rates of the participants, it was determined that some lifeguards had a severe depression level (62.00). A statistically significant difference was found in depression scores among lifeguards working in bronze and silver categories. Lifeguards in the bronze category, who had lower experience scores, had higher depression scores, while those in the silver category, who had higher experience scores, had lower depression scores. In conclusion, it was determined that depression levels decreased as professional experience increased, and that experience and depression scores were inversely proportional among lifeguards in both silver and bronze categories.
