Austin is very excited to have received this award and we encourage everyone to congratulate him on it!!!
Rob Randazzo
Rob will be entering his senior year at Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, NY this fall. He is our first summer resident to earn guard of the week! He enjoys spending summers here in Highland Lakes and last year had a very close encounter with a bear! He enjoys nature but is excited to get back to the city where he enjoys hanging out on 86th street with his friends.
Mike Leifer
Mike just graduated from Vernon High School this June. In the fall he plans on attending Rutgers University where he will be a biology major. His hobbies include playing the guitar and the golf ball game with his swim lessons on beach 3. He lives his life by the motto: “Hey shark, I’m a guppy!”
Luke Jablonski
Luke will be entering his senior year of high school at VTHS this fall. He hopes to join the armed forces after graduation. In his spare time he enjoys extracting syrup from Vermont maple trees and watching the Notebook.
Brian Gibson
Brian will be entering his junior year at Rowan University. He is pursuing a degree in Art Education and hopes to become a teacher upon graduation. His most prized possession is his gold 1990 Toyota Camry with flip lights. It was his lifelong dream to earn guard of the week, and is looking forward to a second nomination. (Wink, wink)
Erin Acker
Erin will be entering her senior year of high school at VTHS this fall. She plans on attending a four year university next fall, and hopes to major in history. As a full-time beach 1 guard she enjoys visiting the beach hut, informing her water safety directors of her daily woes, and loves when her fellow lifeguards play practical jokes on her.
Nastasha Nelle
Nastiashia is currently a student at Rockland County Community College. She is pursuing a certification for AAS and EMT, and is also studying this summer to become a NY EMT. She enjoys playing video games such as “Need for Speed” (look out for her on the road) and enjoys attending the Renaissance Fair.
John Ross
John graduated from high school at VTHS this past June. He is enjoying a summer without homework and is looking forward to attending college in the fall. In his spare time he enjoys swimming the Erskin Classic. He lives life by his own clock, and is a bit confused and thinks he is a California surfer at times (especially with his hair). He and his sister Carrie make up our first brother-sister guard of the week duos. Mom is so proud!!
