I vacation several times a year in the Islands & consider them a part of the public safety community. Their responsibilies are not any different than a firefighter/EMT (which this is a part of their certification). I feel they should be in a bargaining unit which truly reflects their public safety profession which includes mandatory certifications that are also a part of public safety/emergency response organization

They are highly neccesary and there needs to be more. (Kaanapali, come on seriously not one lifeguard? Should be manditory for every large hotel to have to pay for the service of having a lifeguard if they are beachfront there) They are the ocean safety officers for all those educated taking risks out there or not educated taking chances they are not even aware of. the ocean is dangerous. I thank them!

We really like the work they do, especially at Kanaha Beach Park. It's the best when they spend time in the surf break with us because we feel safer having them nearby (the surfbreak is way offshore). A few years ago I went out in 15 foot surf and had to be rescued because my gear was washed at least a quarter mile away while I had to swim in against a strong rip and about 70 windsurfers flying past me! Thank You Maui Lifeguards! Annie
