点评:We visit every year and love this area of North Myrtle Beach. Our 6 year old grandchild is now a Type 1 diabetic and requires insulin to survive. The heat and sun can be dangerous for Type 1 diabetic children, so precautions have to be taken. We have to have a cool shaded space to rest, eat, and receive injections when needed. We researched the clamshell/infant tent requirements and brought one smaller than the allowed size. The first day we set up the clamshell, we were approached by a lifeguard who stated we could not use the clamshell unless one of the children was 18 months or younger. We explained that the 6 year old had Type 1 diebetes and why the clamshell was needed, but she said we would have to take it down. We asked to speak to her supervisor. The supervisor said it was an ordinance. She didn't make the rules and only followed them. We explained that Type 1 diebetes is covered under ADA and what could happen if they go too low or high and how the extra shade would help manage those situations. Her response was that she couldn't allow us to use it and would have an officer explain it to us if needed. I was extremely nice and calm when speaking to both lifeguards, so the officer comment was not appropriate. After the supervisor left and we put the clamshell away the first lifeguard explained where the north myrtle beach and the myrtle beach line was and explained on the myrtle beach side the clamshell is allowed with no 18 month or below rule. We will have to stay in Myrtle Beach going forward. Disability training is definitely needed for any beach employees enforcing ordinances.
翻译:我们每年都会去参观,并且喜欢北默特尔比奇的这个地区。我们 6 岁的孙子现在是 1 型糖尿病患者,需要胰岛素才能生存。高温和阳光对 1 型糖尿病儿童来说可能很危险,因此必须采取预防措施。我们必须有一个凉爽阴凉的空间,以便在需要时休息、进食和接受注射。我们研究了翻盖式/婴儿帐篷的要求,并带来了一个小于允许尺寸的帐篷。我们设置翻盖的第一天,一位救生员找到我们,他说除非其中一个孩子不满 18 个月或更小,否则我们不能使用翻盖。我们解释说 6 岁的孩子患有 1 型糖尿病以及为什么需要翻盖,但她说我们必须把它取下来。我们要求与她的主管交谈。主管说这是规定。她没有制定规则,只是遵守规则。我们解释了 1 型糖尿病在 ADA 范围内,如果它们太低或太高会发生什么,以及额外的阴影如何帮助控制这些情况。她的回答是,她不允许我们使用它,如果需要,她会让一名官员向我们解释。与两名救生员交谈时,我非常友善和冷静,所以官员的评论是不合适的。主管离开后我们把翻盖收起来,第一个救生员解释了北默特尔海滩和默特尔海滩线的位置,并在默特尔海滩一侧解释了翻盖是允许的,没有 18 个月或以下的规定。我们将不得不继续留在默特尔比奇。任何执行条例的海滩员工绝对需要残疾培训。
