Valley’s Finest Lifeguards
to Compete in S. Nevada Lifeguard Games
The
Nevada Recreation and Park Society Southern Nevada Aquatics Committee is
bringing the area’s finest lifeguards together to compete in the annual
Southern Nevada Lifeguard Games at 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 25, at Whitney
Ranch Indoor Pool, 1575 C Galleria Dr. in Henderson. Check-in starts at 5
p.m. Only registered teams may compete, but the public is welcome to attend
and watch the competition. Admission is free.
This year’s competition features lifeguard teams from the City of Henderson,
City of Las Vegas, City of North Las Vegas, Clark County, Paris Las
Vegas/Bally’s Las Vegas, and the YMCA. Lifeguard teams from city and county
recreation departments, private corporations and non-profit organizations
may participate.
“We
always hope that our lifesaving skills will never be needed, but if they
are, it’s our job as lifeguards to be ready to ensure the safety and
well-being of our patrons,” said Angela Hester, Aquatics supervisor for the
City of Henderson Parks and Recreation Department. “The Lifeguard Games
gives lifeguards from across the Las Vegas Valley the chance to get together
and demonstrate their skills, knowledge, endurance and teamwork. The best of
the best will be competing and showcasing their skills.”
Teams of six lifeguards each will compete in a cardiac relay; timed shallow
water spinal rescue; rapid rescue tube relay; tipsy tube relay; and the
gauntlet, where competitors swim 75 yards total, carrying a brick for 25
yards. Agencies’ junior lifeguard teams may also compete in select events.
Plaques and certificates will be awarded to the winning and placing teams
and to the top three competitors in each event.
The
Nevada Recreation and Park Society Southern Nevada Aquatic Committee assists
with the development, delivery and coordination of a forum for aquatic
professionals in Southern Nevada in an effort to provide the community with
quality service. The committee hosts several events each year, including the
Southern Nevada Lifeguard Games.
