The Huntington State Beach Lifeguard Re-Qual swim, and try outs were held today in Huntington Beach at Lifeguard Headquarters at Magnolia and Coast HIghway. The swim for the re-hires (or exisiting Lifeguards) consisted of a 1000 yard ocean swim, around two buoys and back into shore. The swim had to be completed within 20 minutes. The air temperature was in the mid 60′s, and water temp was approximately in the mid 50′s. My daughter is a 5th year lifeguard at Huntington State Beach, and she completed the swim today. She does the swim without a wetsuit (because it is easier for her to swim), and wears two caps to keep her head warm. She came in so cold, she shivered for about 45 minutes after the swim. The Lifeguards do such a great job at maintaining their fitness, so they are ready for the beach season coming up this summer. There was also a swim for the Cadet program, and lifeguard tryouts held after the re-qual swim. The Lifeguards also had their boat , two paddle boards, two personal watercrafts as well for safety. There are additional try out dates: For more information regarding the Huntington State Beach Lifeguard tryouts,view this flyer.Huntington State Beach Lifeguard RE-Qualification Swim
