State parks going without lifeguards in '08

State parks going without lifeguards in '08 Swimming at state park beaches soon will be at your own risk.

Starting this summer, the Bureau of State Parks is getting rid of lifeguards at all beaches except at Presque Isle State Park on Lake Erie. The move will save about $800,000, eliminate the challenge of hiring enough lifeguards and allow beaches to be open longer, state officials said.
