This is unbelievable, especially in a coastal state like goa. Moreover,
cause I work in a beach resort in the gulf and both our life guards are
goan. Mr. Bosco is absolutely right with his suggestions in points 1 & 2
below; any strong swimmers can be selected as per the required number and
can be trained and assessed whether they meet the standards and a final
selection can be done.
Also, have checked with our life guard as to where he took the training,
and he said he was certified from Navi Mumbai and the Captain of Ports in
Panjim.
Wish you all a blessed christmas!

Mathilda Carvalho

Suggestions (possibly already instituted) for the chairperson of GTDC:
1) Hire some of the 128 applicants who didn't make it.
2) The GTDC can sponsor/finance a program that would introduce formal
swimming courses that would lead to being
certified as a lifeguard over a period of 2-3 years.
