Yesterday afternoon, an incident in the Union Beachlocated in Chubutsurprised bathers who were enjoying the day on the coast. A man decided to enter the water in an area where it was not allowed, which caused the discomfort of the life guard. Upon approaching him to inform him of the restriction, the situation quickly escalated into an argument that ended with abuse and pushes between the man and the site’s security workers.
The altercation escalated when the man reacted to the abuse of the workers and took him to the physical violence. The fight, which involved three people, surprised those present on the beach, who tried to separate them while others intervened to end the confrontation. The situation, which began with a simple disagreement about the safety standardsended with a series of blows on a day that should have been just rest and enjoyment for beach visitors.
The head of the Lifeguard Corps from Playa Unión, Luis Torresstated that measures have already been taken against the personnel involved. “The lifeguards who participated in the fight will be sanctioned. This type of behavior does not represent the values of our team or what we want to transmit as a public service.“Torres said in an interview.
Torres also emphasized the importance of vacationers respect the signs and the instructions from the lifeguards to avoid similar incidents. “We understand that people come to enjoy the beach, but the rules are there to protect both bathers and athletes who use these specific areas.“he concluded.
The incident was recorded by several witnesses and images quickly went viral on social networks, generating an intense debate about the attitude of both the bather and the lifeguards. The situation highlights the need for greater mutual respect between beach visitors and the staff in charge of ensuring their safety.
