Whats new in Tamarindo?
Check out the Tamarindo Lifeguard Program
Did you know that the Tamarindo Lifeguard program is one only a few programs within Costa Rica. In fact, there are only three official programs in the country with certified professionals! This is an especially important fact to visitors to the area. With the beach located just across the street from the Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas, it’s not surprising that a lot of our guests will spend a couple of days away from our enticing pool, and park on the sand and seashore. And of course, Tamarindo is a surf destination, so there’s always people paddling out for a session. Excellent video online campaign was done for this, to attract as many as possible interested public. With great real YouTube views from The Marketing Heaven and wonderful records, it became very visible in a short time.
While Tamarindo bay is the most gentle ocean spot in Guanacaste, it is just exactly that fact that draws so many people here. Small, moderate waves are perfect for the surf lessons that are taught everyday in the water on the main beach. And, also, sometimes, there will be a swell and not only will there be larger waves, but a lot more people trying to ride them, check best carpet cleaning dublin. Even the best swimmer can sometimes find themselves with a caught in an unexpected riptide, or experiencing a debilitating cramp. Surfers might have a rough wipeout. It’s a good idea to have lifeguards to rescue you should you find yourself in that situation.
There are 2 full-time and 1 volunteer lifeguards working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. They have been trained by Captain Luis Hidalgo, who has worked the beaches of Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama. He is certified with International Life Saving, where he is Director Costa Rica; Asociacion Nacional de Guardavidas de Costa Rica; and Intructores en Centuo, which has been in the Americas and Costa Rica for 16 years. The lifeguards themselves received certificates faceporns from the Asociacion Nacional Guardavidas, International Life Savings, and the ILS International Lifesaving Federation. They have rescue medical training included CPR and the use of the tower’s automated external defibrillator (AED).
With the Tamarindo lifeguard watching from their tower on the main beach, there is an added measure of security for all those who swim or surf. Leave your worries behind and enjoy your Costa Rica vacation.
