OUR VETERANS!! 🛟💪🏼

During training, our veteran lifeguards did an exceptional job! They worked hard not only to sharpen their own skills, but also to help train and mentor our rookie (first-year) lifeguards.

Their leadership, dedication, and commitment to the team set a great example and helped create a strong foundation for a successful summer season. We’re proud of the hard work they put in and grateful for the positive impact they have on and off the beach! 🌊☀️

This Memorial Day, we take time to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. To those remembering loved ones today, we are thinking of you.

With many Surf Rescue alumni serving in the military, we are especially grateful for their service and sacrifice in protecting our freedom. Thank you will never be enough. 🇺🇸
