SOUTHWICK – The Parks and Recreation Commission is set to open the Town Beach Friday, June 26.
Commissioners said this week they do not have any lifeguards hired and have just one lifeguard application in-hand.
“Do we have to have a lifguard?” wondered Commissioner Susan Grabowski. “I go to beaches all the time and see signs that there is no lifeguard on duty.”
Commissioner Daniel Call said he would check with Health Director Thomas Fitzgerald.
“So we would have people at the gate, at concession, and a manager,” said Call. “We need to talk to Tom.”
Other than the lifeguard concern, the Commission is getting ready for opening day. Hired staff should report to work June 25 to prepare for the opening.
