The award will let the city be able to hire more lifeguards, authorize more swimming capacity at beaches and pools over the coming summers and improve operations of the city lifeguard program.
Friday, May 24, 2024 8:56PMWith summer on the horizon, the path for more lifeguards around New York City beaches and pools is being paved.
"Our beaches and pools are some of New York City's gems - they're great places for our kids and families to cool off, learn to swim, and enjoy the summer," Adams said in a statement. "Today's big win for public safety at our pools and beaches means we'll be able to potentially hire more lifeguards for this summer and get even more in the pipeline for summers to come.
The award also gives the city ability to modify qualifications for lifeguards assigned to shallow water pools and modernize the vision requirements to be more in line with state regulations and industry standards. And no longer will it be required for the city to limit 300-yard swim for shallow-water pools.
