Great news!! Our application to the Recreational Bathing Project in Trenton to waive the requirement to have lifeguards in order to have a SWIM RAFT has been verbally approved via a phone call I received Tuesday from the head of the project!! To have a swim raft, there are two requirements we must meet: (1) to purchase and install a new raft that meets the state’s required safety measures and (2) that we post a sign that says No Diving (from the raft). A letter confirming the approval will follow. This means that the only reason we would be required to have lifeguards would be if we wanted to re-install the diving board. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 973-598-5974 or email me at joancarol@aol.com.
