CBS 13 • May 28, 2023

Although many are ready to jump into the beach season, state officials are warning that not all swimming spots have lifeguards at this time of year. At Maine state parks right now, lifeguard coordinator Sean Vaillancourt says there are no lifeguards on duty right now and there won’t be for the next few weeks. “Across the state I think we have a total of forty-seven positions available,” said Vaillancourt.
