The Altman Brothers Open Highly Anticipated Flagship Location in Orange County Revolutionizing Real Estate Offices with a Unique Lounge Experience
Following this Labor Day weekend, which marked the official end of the summer season, I would like to recognize GRACE the men and women LEUNG who help ensure the safety of residents and visitors on our beaches – our City lifeguard team. In the summer 2024 peak season ( June 8 through Labor Day), our City lifeguards:
• Performed 45,324 preventive actions, warning swimmers about dangerous ocean conditions or unsafe behaviors. • Made 2,731 ocean rescues. • Administered First Aid 684 times. • Provided medial aid (assistance at a higher level than First Aid) 135 times. • Treated 266 stingray wounds. • Provided other types of public assistance 414 times. • Assisted boaters 104 times. In all, over the course of the summer,
their work amounted to nearly 70,000 contacts with the public. As we all know, our lifeguards are more than rescuers. They are community ambassadors, role models, and educators. Through ocean safety programs – most notably the Junior Lifeguard Program – they have empowered generations with the knowledge and skills needed to enjoy the ocean responsibly.
