Wildwood Crest - We are told to swim at guarded beaches for our safety. Explain how a person can go missing after a rescue, then float a mile along the beach and not be found by lifeguards? Was there full lifeguard staffing that day or was it reduced because it is the end of the season? Did the lifeguards take out all of their boats and rescue boards and search? Why did surfers find the body? I don't feel safe at the Wildwood or Wildwood Crest beaches.
