For more than 100 years the men and women of the American Red Cross Volunteer Life Saving Corps have stood watch over Jacksonville’s beaches. Founded in 1911/12, the Life Saving Corps was originally set up in Pablo Beach which later, in 1925, became Jacksonville Beach. In 1993, the Corps began accepting women candidates into the program. Today, new recruits undergo an intense training program that includes first aid, CPR, ocean rescue, and training on weather conditions and to be considered, candidates must be 16 years old by the completion of the session. This training session pic was shot in front of the iconic life guard station located at 2 Ocean Front N, 32250 and if you decide to come here and explore, please consider donating generously to help the Volunteer Corps continue to fulfill its mission of saving lives.
