[quote=briansd1]I don’t really think that we need lifeguards. Swimmers beware.
I’ve been to many countries where there are no lifeguards on the beach.
Not a necessity. Much better things to spend money on, IMHO.[/quote]
Yeah. I have to say that having lifeguards are a luxury, IMO. I agree w/brian on this. Many countries do not have lifeguards. You are on your own. Swim or sink. I don’t remember seeing any lifeguards at any of the beaches I was at in Italy. Of course, there are no big waves there.
But if we insist on having lifeguards and paying them these wages, perhaps we can do what NJ does and start charging to go on the beach.
