When lifeguards are not on duty, swim at your own risk!

We feel the urge to send out this reminder, after recent tragedies, including a drowning in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, where five swimmers were caught in a rip current after lifeguards had gone off duty. This incident, along with other recent drownings in the region, serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of swimming in unguarded waters. Authorities are urging the public to never swim when lifeguards are not on duty, as rip currents can be powerful and deadly, even for strong swimmers.
