Lifeguards To Keep The Beach Safe

By troysteuwer | July 2, 2008

Following the unfortunate tragedy of a couple of visitors to Panama City Beach over Memorial Day weekend, the city council has decided to adopt a trend growing in the northwest region of Florida, and that’s lifeguards. A budget has already been approved and local officials are in the process of hiring the staff to man the stations.

The News Herald reports that there may eventually be stations in front of Pier Park, M.B. Miller county pier and on the beach next to Alf Colman Road. They are also exploring the possibility of lifeguard training for the Beach Patrol, as well as lifeguard training for beach vendors.
