Despite rough ocean conditions and cold water the Epic lifeguard tournament was held as scheduled.  It was a fantastic night for the Surf City team as they swept the tournament, winning all five events and earning first place overall with 40 team points.  Beach Haven and Barnegat Light tied with 17 points each with the second place award going to Beach Haven because they earned more second place finishes than Barnegat Light.  Congratulations to all teams that competed in the Epic.

 

  March 7, 2008 - Lifeguard Try Outs and Pre-Season Schedule

You can find a schedule showing all important pre-season beach patrol testing and training dates here.  If you will be returning for the 2008 season it is your responsibility to send in the pre-employment application so I know that you are returning.  This year the returning lifeguards will swim test the day after the new applicants so it is imperative you let me know that you are returning or it is possible I could fill your spot with a new applicant if I don't know you are coming back!  It is not okay to simply show up at the make-up test as I will assume you are not returning and may fill your position.  Also keep in mind that if you have friends that want to try out they should come to the initial test on May 24 as the make-up test will only be available for new recruits if position are open.

Lifeguard Test Date:
 Saturday, May 24 at 10:30AM (for new applicants)
Sunday, May 25 at 10:30AM (for returning lifeguards and new applicants unless all positions have been filled)

 Make-Up Test (if needed)
 Saturday, May 31 at 10:30AM  (ONLY HELD IF POSITIONS ARE AVAILABLE AFTER THE FIRST TEST!!!)

  2. To be eligible for employment applicants must demonstrate the ability to don a mask, clear a snorkel, and retrieve a submerged victim.
  3. There will be a brief interview (5 to 10 minutes) for all new applicants.
