Shore Beach Service’s 24th annual Lifeguard Competition took place this June at Hilton Head Island’s Coligny Beach Park. Shore's Beach Patrol supervisors are the team captains and teams. The competition rewards teamwork along with recognizing individual excellence. Every lifeguard competes and receives team points in correlation to the place that the lifeguard finishes the event. A top 5 finish earns that lifeguard individual points that are tallied to crown the overall women’s and men’s champion. The individual points are also used to create a regional competition team. The competition is scheduled as a three-night affair. In each event, the women and men compete separately.
