Think It's Easy Being A Lifeguard? Watch This
Members of the Beach Haven Beach Patrol talk about what it takes to be a lifeguard
Being a lifeguard on a Jersey Shore beach isn't just about sitting on a lifeguard stand and slathering on sunscreen. It takes a lot more than that. Constant training during a 40-hour work week is just part of the job.
Members of the Beach Haven Beach Patrol explain what it takes to be a successful lifeguard in this short documentary "BHBP."
To say guards need to be good swimmers goes without saying. They also need to be physically fit, alert, assertive and properly trained in first aid. Listen to them discuss what their work weeks are like.
