Busy Christmas Day Managing Large Crowds

Sunset Beach Lifeguards spent a very busy Christmas Day managing large crowds looking to cool down after a hot day with family Christmas celebrations. For some of those it meant having a day at the beach for a picnic and family day. Some with too much Christmas cheer.
4pm with tide now heading out and the lifeguards had already done 7 assists, 101 preventative actions involving 425 people. Peak head count for the day was 240 persons and lifeguards had about 100 + people in the water from around 1pm
