Safety counts. Although the Atlantic Ocean usually offers up gentle, rolling waves, it can occasionally kick up some rough currents, so you should swim only where lifeguards are present. Atlantic City had the first paid, professional lifesaving squad in the world, and they're still tops in making sure you're safe. Here's the skinny on where and when to take a dip:
|
| |
 |
Lifeguards are on duty from 10am - 6pm at 50 locations from Caspian Ave. to Jackson Ave. July 1 - Labor Day. (A limited number of beaches are protected from Memorial Day to July 1, and Labor Day to September 30.) |
| |
|
There are 11 District Stations that provide first aid, certified EMTs, and communications. District Stations are located at: Caspian Ave., New Hampshire Ave., States Ave., South Carolina Ave., Kentucky Ave., Michigan Ave., Mississippi Ave., Texas Ave., Chelsea Ave., Albany Ave., and Bartram Ave. |
| |
|
Please be sure to follow instructions from the lifeguards, they can provide you with valuable information about swimming in the ocean currents and rip tides. |
