The Ocean City Beach Patrol will hold a tryout for new lifeguards on June 18. In the event of inclement weather, the tryout will be pushed to June 19.

The competitive test will include a 500-meter ocean swim, a 500-meter ocean paddleboard, a one-half-mile beach run, a 500-meter erg and a surf dash. All candidates also must complete an interview.

Candidates must be at least 16 years old by Aug. 1 and complete a physical examination before the tryout.

The OCBP hired 15 new guards after a tryout on June 4. The second tryout will offer a chance for candidates who were unable to compete in the first.
