Pawleys Island, S.C. Lifeguards in the near future?

Some residents of Pawleys Island, S.C. are spearheading a movement to fund and employ lifeguards on Pawleys Island Beaches during the Summer months. Currently the only lifeguards in Georgetown County can be found on the beach in Huntington Beach State Park. Other Georgetown County beaches are "swim at your own risk." That's not so bad if you understand where you are and how the currents typically flow. However, one problem area year after year is at the south end of Pawleys Island where the tidal flow of Pawleys Creek meets the Atlantic Ocean, creating strong and unpredictable currents. This is also the location of a public parking lot and public beach access bringing many beachgoers straight to what may be the most dangerous area of Pawleys Island to swim. Swimmers are rescued every year and unfortunately, some of them have also drowned. I hope residents, the city and the county can come together to find a workable solution for funding seasonal lifeguards before another life is lost.
