To the Editor:

It’s obvious that my July 20 letter complaining about the tiny swimming spaces (which I clearly stated were on clear calm days and not during raging rip currents and monster shore breaks) struck a nerve with some older, “professional” lifeguards.

Let me state again to these David Hasselhoff wannabes: I’ve been here for over 20 years. These so-called swim zones have been in the same spots every day, every week, every year.
