OCBP members must be at least 17 years old and while they have no age limit on how old an employee can be, he said most of his staff is 18-20 years old. "It's a very small percent (of people) that can physically do the job," Arbin said.

"We're really recruiting an elite group." because an applicant is certified as a pool lifeguard, it doesn't mean they're qualified beach guards. "A pool doesn't teach you anything about the ocean," he said. "In the case of Beach Patrol, it's really like hiring professional athletes. They're special because most people can't doit." Lifeguards are unique, he said, because unlike police officers or firefighters, who wait for the calls, lifeguards have to be alert and aware of what is going on. "Then they have to have the physical ability to work fast and swim fast because said.
