South Haven City Council is considering reintroducing lifeguards to its public beaches after a 20-year absence due to safety concerns. With 1,236 drownings in the Great Lakes since 2010, area residents support the return of lifeguards. The city would need to budget $630,000 annually for training, recruiting, and certification.
