Dear Mr. Mostrangeli:

Your letter (“Lifeguard Liabilities,” 8/3) was way out of line. These “David Hasselhoff wannabes” are all trained lifeguards, not “Surf City kids” as referred to by you. I have been coming to LBI, specifically Surf City, for over 50 years and welcome the sight of these young men and women trained to protect me and everyone else who visits the LBI beaches.

My wife and I were at theFifth Street beach in Surf City on Friday, Aug.
