Charleston Ocean Rescue Lifeguards

Donation protected
For over 20 years Charleston's beaches have been watched and protected by Ocean Rescue Lifeguards from a collaboration of agencies across the county. We work together to provide water surveillance, rescue response, and medical support all across the beautiful Charleston beaches. Every year the United States Lifesaving Association holds tournaments where these rescuers can compete against each other in a variety of different events to show that they are the best at what we do. In 2015 we claimed 3rd place overall in our South Atlantic Region, 4th in 2016, 2nd in 2017, 3rd in 2018 and 2019. This year we feel that we have one of our best teams yet and we are hoping to take our team of  approximately 20 guards to North Myrtle Beach, SC to compete on July 10th and 11th .

We have an amazing community here in Charleston and many of our guards have already stepped up and offered their help in getting us ready for the competition. Unfortunately there is only so much the guards can do on our own so we are trying to raise money to help with the cost of registration, equipment repairs, gas, and lodging. We are all taking time off from work to go represent Charleston but many of us are high school and college students so the more help we can get from the public the more ready for competition we can be and the better we can represent our home.

We feel that this competition is a great opportunity for us to go out into the international lifesaving community and to show that not only is Charleston the most beautiful area in the country, but it's also the safest. Please, if you are interested and able, consider helping your local lifeguards. Whether it's a couple of pennies or a penny's weight in gold (optimistically), every little bit is a huge help. How cool would it feel to say that for once it was you who saved us?
