On Sand Key beach in Clearwater Friday, the next wave of folks who'll help keep Pinellas County beaches safe were up bright and early to train. They're new lifeguard recruits like Charles McLaughlin, who moved here from Buffalo, NY, to work. "I just decided that I wanted to do something and give back to the community. And I wanted to experience something other than the lake effect snow that we grew up with," he said. The county's aquatic supervisor, Andrea Moreira, said they'll take all the help they can get.
