To the Editor:

I would like to take a moment to thank the Ship Bottom Beach Patrol for an outstanding Lifeguard in Training (LIT) program. The dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism they have shown the kids this summer is remarkable.

My son, Andy, started the program a little apprehensive and unsure of what to expect. This nervousness was diminished on day one when he experienced how the guards would treat him, teach him and help him.
