With summer in full swing, lifeguards need to be at the top of their game. As motivation, guards compete against each other in tournaments hosted all over the Island and along the coast. On Friday, July 17, the Ship Bottom Beach Patrol hosted a tournament. On Monday, July 20, it was next-door neighbor Surf City’s turn.

Surf City lifeguardCapt. Mark Dileo made a point to highlight the mixing of the sexes in the competition his patrol hosted.
