lifeguards

If your teen, a young adult, or maybe you need a summer job, this could be the one. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is looking to hire more lifeguards for the summer.

The odds of a shark attack being fatal is 1 in 3,748,067. You have more of a chance of dying from being struck by lightning, a car accident or the flu. However, in recent years a man was killed by a shark off of a beach in Cape Cod and a New York City woman suffered a deadly attack in southern Maine. If you are an ocean swimmer these days on the beaches of New York, you may want to keep your eyes open for some deadly friends. Two people were bitten within 72 hours off the southern coast of New York's prestigious beaches this week.

Warm weather will be in full effect very soon and with warmth comes awesome outdoor fun, like swimming. Whether it be lakes, pools or the ocean we will be out there showing off our ability to swim like champions. Unfortunately, some of us aren't as great in the water as we would like to think. Thank god for life guards!
