Sixteen Earn Spots on Ocean City Beach Patrol

The men and women completed a two-day competitive tryout to secure summer jobs as lifeguards.

The Ocean City Beach Patrol offered jobs to 16 new lifeguards after a two-day competitive tryout that ended on Sunday.

The applicants completed a half-mile run on the track at Ocean City High School, a half-mile swim in the ocean, surf dashes and a timed row in the lagoon at 17th Street. The beach patrol also conducted interviews with all candidates.

The field of 36 in the tryout was smaller than in most years but still extremely competitive.
