The competitive test will include a 500-meter ocean swim, a 500-meter ocean paddleboard, a one-half-mile beach run, a 500-meter erg and a surf dash. All candidates also must complete an interview.
Candidates must be at least 16 years old by Aug. 1 and complete a physical examination before the tryout.
The OCBP hired 15 new guards after a tryout on June 4. The second tryout will offer a chance for candidates who were unable to compete in the first.
