As many of you lot may bring heard, nosotros establish some hypodermic needles on the beach this calendar week too unfortunately had an incident where a Junior Lifeguard stepped on a needle. We desire you lot to know that nosotros part your concerns, too are taking the lead chances of hypodermic needles really seriously. As a security precaution, nosotros bring instructors checking inwards early on each 24-hour interval to rake the expanse too await for whatsoever needles inwards the sand unopen to our area. Some parents bring asked if nosotros allow JG participants to vesture H2O shoes, too the answer to that is yes. We bring never required our Junior Lifeguards to run barefoot, nosotros exactly inquire that if they are going to vesture H2O shoes, it is something that is lightweight that the JG tin concur spell they swim if necessary. In our sense H2O shoes render some mensurate of safety, but don’t protect fully against hypodermic needles.
We bring had hypodermic needles on our beaches for many years. So, nosotros brand a signal of describing them to our JGs on the really offset 24-hour interval of the program, too explicate that they demand to maintain their eyes on the sand ever too sentinel for whatsoever hazards. If they produce meet something they mean value may hold upward dangerous, they bring been instructed to depict a large circle unopen to it inwards the sand, notice something noticeable to identify inwards the circle to grade the spot, too and thence notify an instructor.
I empathise the concerns nearly finding needles this summer. In many ways, this is an indicator that our JGs bring been next our directions too are beingness diligent nearly keeping their eyes opened upward for possible beach hazards. We bring had over 500 participants inwards the JG programme each summer, too this is the offset fourth dimension that I am aware of that nosotros bring had a Junior Lifeguard pace on a hypodermic needle. We promise that it is an isolated incident, but desire you lot to know that nosotros volition move yesteryear on to produce everything nosotros tin to minimize the lead chances of this happening again, too volition move yesteryear on to remind our Junior Lifeguards to remain alarm to beach hazards...
