Answer

Is it safe to swim in Mallorca if there are no lifeguards on duty?

Swimming without lifeguards is always more risky, especially for children, weaker swimmers, or anyone unfamiliar with the sea conditions. If you choose to go in, stay close to shore, never swim alone, and follow any warning flags or signs. If the beach looks poorly supervised, it is better to pick another spot.
