We hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July! The beaches have been busy, which brings hard work and dedication from all of our guards. As we wrap up the second week of July, and we get closer to the half way point of summer, here are a few things to remember when going to the beach!

🛟 Know before you, check out the local conditions or ask the lifeguard at your beach about the conditions of the day!
🛟 Take plenty of water for a full day at the beach to make sure you stay hydrated!
🛟 Pack your sunscreen and make sure to reapply every 80 minutes!
🛟 Stay safe and have fun!
