There is an idea floating around New York to lower the minimum age for certified lifeguards from 16 to 15 in order to help alleviate the shortage that has hampered the tri-state and the country thus far this summer
Due to the national lifeguard shortage, unfortunately we will not be hosting swim programs, including lap swim, senior swim, and Learn to Swim, at our outdoor pools this summer. Outdoor pools will remain open each day for general swim from 11am-3pm and from 4pm–7pm."I’m sure that was a hard decision.
Mayor Eric Adams said that he’s now pushing his team to think outside the box, tossing out ideas like getting kids on swim teams to lifeguard. The Long Island town of Hempstead is fully staffed on the beach and at pools, but the town supervisor is calling on the governor to lower the age of certification by a year.
On Friday, Clavin got approval from the state to lower the certification age, as did all of Nassau and Suffolk counties. A state officials said that the two Long Island counties have different requirements for lifeguards than other regions of the state, due to their beaches requiring different lifeguarding skills.
