While lifeguards at New York beaches remain on duty for a while longer, many New Jersey beaches no longer have them. NickJCaloway went to the Jersey Shore to check on that dangerous mix of riptides and unprotected shoreline.
"I mean, what am I going to do, argue with a lifeguard? He makes the rules. Rule says I can't swim, I can't swim," said Hamill, of Strasburg, Pennsylvania.Boyd has been watching over the waters for 20 years and knows the most dangerous spots.The big waves and dangerous rip currents can put swimmers in danger quickly.
"If you get caught in that, it'll sweep you off your feet, and at that point, you could be a very strong swimmer and still not be able to get back to shore," Boyd said."And I saw the red flags, and I said, 'Well, I'll just stay here and I'll be nice and safe," said Sylvia Keker of Rahway.Now that Labor Day has passed, many Jersey Shore beaches are understaffed or not staffed at all with lifeguards.
Officials say if the conditions improve Saturday in Seaside, swimming might be allowed, but it'll be a game-time decision.
