Who would you want to save you or a family member if you got caught in a rip current? I want someone with incredible stamina and endurance who won't quit until the rescue is complete. I want someone from the Ocean City Beach Patrol.
I've had the pleasure of training a dozen or so members of the Beach Patrol for the past 4 weeks. They continue to amaze me with their competitive drive, never-give-up attitude, and eagerness to learn new movements and push themselves beyond their limits. When I think of how CrossFit forges elite athletes, I put the Beach Patrol in that category, because CrossFit will only improve the work capacity of these strong and determined athletes.
