It's for the lifeguards to take a break, rotate, etc. It also gives them a chance (by clearing the pool) to do a visual sweep of the pool and make sure there wasn't someone in trouble.

And yet, pools in Florida NEVER do this. I was so surprised when I moved north and found all these dumb-ass breaks.

It doesn't happen in Michigan or North Dakota, it does in the DC area. I can't speak for the rest of the country.
