As the Spring Season approaches Panama City Beach Fire Rescue is kicking off its first Beach Safety Tryout of the year in an effort to hire more lifeguards.
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. - As the Spring Season approaches Panama City Beach Fire Rescue is kicking off its first Beach Safety Tryout of the year.
Nearly a dozen potential lifeguards met up at Frank Brown Park’s Aquatic Center Saturday morning for the first phase despite the cold and rainy weather. “We work out in the elements all the time,” Cook said. “We don’t get to have the perfect condition for a rescue. Most of the time if the water is rough the weather is rough and you have to be able to push through that discomfort.”
“Main thing we’re looking for is resilience. The drive to finish that 500. It’s a long swim. Initially, time isn’t the most important thing. Before the end of the academy, you’ll have to pass the time obviously, but first things first we just want people who are dedicated and willing to come out on a day like this,” the rescue responder said.
