LIFEGUARD OF THE YEAR AWARD
Starting in 1996, each summer Shore management selects the lifeguard who best exemplifies our "Top Ten Values" and "Goals & Objectives" as the Lifeguard of the Year.

The honor is named the "Scott Freiberger Award," in memory of a former Shore Beach Service lifeguard who passed away due to an aneurysm in 1996 at the age of 23.
