OCBP Question-of-the-Week for The Worcester County Times What exactly is an SRT? Are they like pool lifeguards? SRT stands for surf rescue technician. Ocean/surf rescue is significantly more challenging than pool or lake guarding. The job has far more responsibility and entails much more than a regular lifeguard. Because of the uniqueness of the job's demands, beach patrol lifeguards receive specialized testing, training and certifications. Only after they have successfully completed Surf Rescue Academy (much like a police officer or fire fighter) and have passed all certification requirements will they begin safeguarding your family and receive certification as an SRT. The SRT is an important part of the beach environment. They are strong swimmers, familiar with their areas, and are able to respond if someone is in danger. Additionally, every SRT is drug tested, meets annual re-qualification standards, participates in weekly in-service training, is currently certified in First Aid, CPR and use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED), and has current information on tides and local events. They also receive training in enforcement of laws and local ordinances, search and recovery as well as perfecting their skills in management of suspected head or neck injuries. It is important that you cooperate with the SRT in the performance of his/her duties. IMPORTANT: Whenever you hear a whistle blast, even if you don’t think it is for you, locate the SRT to see what they may need. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and remember to wave your arms when in danger.

To get current information about the beach patrol as well as daily stats and current beach conditions, you can follow the beach patrol on Twitter or “like us” on the Official OCBP Facebook page. We can’t wait to be a part of your wonderful experiences in Ocean City, because we are glad you are here, and always remember to “Keep your feet in the sand until the lifeguard’s in the stand!”  

Sgt. Jason Konyar has been with the Beach Patrol for 13 years. His area of supervision is what we call the Middle-North, which is approximately 52nd Street to the Clarion Hotel. In addition to his area of supervision, Sgt. Konyar is responsible for all of the American Red Cross First Aid instruction for the Patrol. In the off-season, Sgt. Konyar is an educational instructor of the Business Management and Finance S.T.E.M. Academy at Worcester Technical High School. He also advises the school’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter. He is married to Heather Konyar who is the senior associate attorney at Cockey, Brennan & Maloney, P.C. Jason and Heather have two small children, Ava and Jay. If he is not spending time with his family or working, Sgt. Konyar likes to kayak, hunt, and fish. The lifeguard’s of the Ocean City Beach Patrol are glad to answer any of

your beach and water safety questions.

From: Andrey Hetmansky Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 4:14 PM To: Butch Arbin Subject: Recognition of Lifesaving Actions CPT Arbin

I want to drop you a quick note to let you know that two of your lifeguards, Josh Steadman and Tyler Baxter (I hope I haven't mixed up their names) have my deepest gratitude today. This afternoon my family and I were swimming at the beach (at the 142nd street beach area) when my youngest daughter was pulled out by a strong tide. My other daughter and I tried to rescue her and get her back in when we all ran into difficulty. I then called out for help and within seconds, one and then the other lifeguard were at our side bringing us back in. If it wasn't for these two outstanding young men, we could have easily been listed in the next day Ocean City obituaries. Please recognize/provide commendation to these outstanding individuals and pass on to them my deepest gratitude and appreciation for what they did for my family today.

Thank you Andrey Hetmansky

PS Please confirm receipt and provide me your higher HQ address so that I may send a formal letter of appeciation.

From: Showman, Zack Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 5:03 PM To: Butch Arbin Subject: Thanks to the guard!! Hi, I just wanted to send my thanks to the guard (male) who brought my 10 year old daughter in yesterday at about 1:00. We were approximately in between 144th and 145th street on the ocean when my daughter got caught out to far and couldn’t get back in. She was hand signaling to me and the guard saw her in distress and immediately took to the water and brought her in with the orange life preserver. He was extremely fast and quick to action and we appreciate this so much! I don’t know his name but if you could extend our thanks to the guy who brought her in we would appreciate it. Thanks so much! Thanks, ZACK SHOWMAN CONSUMER SAFETY OFFICER FDA/CDRH/OC/DRMO/FOB

From an E-mail received on Monday, June 18, 2012 I took these pictures today from my balcony at the Hilton Hotel on 3200 N Baltimore Ave. It was at 1:05. Very scary to watch but everything turned out so well I was very proud of the boys. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew how hard they worked with these girls and how important they are on the beaches. Kathleen Captain’s Note: These are 6 of the 30 pictures I received by E-Mail. People see “EVERYTHING” we do both positive and negative. The lady who sent these picture sent them within an hour of the incident. Everything you do, you should do with the idea that someone will be recording it and will post the pictures or video on the Internet. DO NOT embarrass the Beach Patrol or Yourself! 10
