Here is a part of an e-mail I want to share, this is one of many!!!

Janet:

            I only saw you once the whole summer and did not get a chance to let you know what I saw this summer. While on the beach, I noticed ( as did some family members) a very professional approach all summer on the part of your guards. Their ability to respond to various issues that occurred in the water (both individually and as a group) and their professionalism on the stands and on the beach was even better than it had been. They deserve a lot of credit and so do the people that trained them.

            Not that many people realize what type of ocean issues we have had (previous to storms) this summer, and evaluating conditions and then utilizing training to deal with those issues takes time and effort. I witnessed numerous saves and also watched guards either practicing with one another or individually both in the water and on the beach. Not a lot of people seem to notice this, but be sure some of my family members (several of whom were guards at one time) and a number of my friends have taken notice this summer. The guards should be congratulated.
