To the Editor:

As a parent who has had one child come through the Long Beach Township Beach Patrol Lifeguard in Training Program, and another just beginning it, I would like to thank the guardsfor the truly professional and expert training that they give these kids.

My son was a second-year lifeguard this summer and was involved in the first aid call on the beach on July 27 that involved a surfer surviving a severe bicep laceration from his surfboard.
