The 2022 South Atlantic Lifesaving Association (SALA) Regional Lifeguard Competition was held in Virginia Beach, Virginia in July. The two-day competition pitted 206 lifeguards from 12 beach patrol organizations from as far north as Virginia Beach, Virginia south to Jacksonville Beach, Florida against each other.   Shore Beach Service sent a team of 16 lifeguards, primarily determined by individual points in our local competition. 

In most events, men and women compete seperately.  "Open" events, are for competitors of any age, but primarily has athletes under age 30.  Most of Shore's team competed in the open events.    In the open events, points are awarded for any top 10 finish, with anyone in the top 5 earning a medal.  In the age groups, the top 3 places earn medals and points.

Overall, Hilton Head finished 3rd in the Large Beach division, with 152.25 points, our best finish at the SALA Competition.   Full rests can be found a salausla.org/lifesaving-sport
