That’s the kickoff to the 2021 spring break and tourist seasons. “We’ve been busy getting ready, getting geared up; we’ve hosted three different tryouts over the past few months,” said Alex Johnson, Water Safety Deputy Chief at Santa Rosa Island Authority. “Done interviews, we’ve done five different lifeguard training sessions, we’re starting our sixth now [and] we’ll have one more after that.” Nineteen new lifeguards have been hired and are joining 56 returning for another season in the sun. The group underwent rigorous drills including 80 hours of open water training, and emergency medical training.
