WILDWOOD CREST – The Borough of Wildwood Crest Beach Patrol has canceled the 37th annual Cape May County Lifeguard Championships competition that was scheduled for Friday, July 10, due to Executive Order 152 by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy that limits the amount of people that can attend an outdoor social gathering.
Executive Order 152 currently limits outdoor gatherings to no more than 250 people. The governor has indicated that this limit may be raised to 500 people on July 3.
However, the Cape May County Lifeguard Championships competition regularly draws crowds of well over 500 people, which would have placed the event in violation with the anticipated limit set by the executive order.
The Wildwood Crest Beach Patrol has also canceled its junior lifeguard program for the 2020 season.
