Read More »While vacationing on the beaches in Ocean City you may notice a surf rescue technician (SRT) blowing his or her whistle. The sound produced by a SRT’s whistle tells the surrounding guards as well as beach patrons what is going on. One whistle blast means the lifeguard wants your attention. If you hear the lifeguard blow his whistle you should look at him to see if he is attempting to tell you something whether you are in the water or on the beach. (Even if you are “sure” that they are not talking to you, they may see or know something that you do not.) He may be indicating that you need to move out of potential danger, such as rip currents, dangerous shorebreak or even marine life such as we saw earlier last summer with the whale sightings. The guard could also be letting you know that you are breaking a rule. Two whistle blasts indicate that the lifeguard has made the decision that he needs to leave the stand to intervene in a beach emergency or a water rescue. These two whistle blasts will also initiate the backup coverage system and will involve SRTs from several surrounding locations. In a severe emergency, a lifeguard will blow three whistles and this is an indication that there is a life and death situation and that they need immediate back up and assistance. Although by today’s technology standards, the whistle may seem prehistoric, the response it initiates brings the most up-to-date communication and life-saving equipment to the scene. Because this signaling device is so critical to our rescue and response system it is the only piece of required uniform other than the SRT’s bathing suit. It is worn at all times and ready to be used both on the beach and in the ocean.
