Fellow Lifeguards,

As millions head for the coast to enjoy the beach, I want to personally wish you all good luck over Memorial Day Weekend. We are the line that makes the difference.

If we trust in our brothers and sisters in lifesaving to back us and rely on our exceptional USLA training, we will accomplish our mission to significantly increase beach patrons’ chances of returning home safely. We will maintain the impressive statistic that their chances of drowning in a USLA protected beach is only 1:18 million.

Ours is an extraordinarily difficult profession; we are charged with protecting beachgoers lives around the U.S. But as you face the inevitable difficulties ahead this weekend, know that the entire lifesaving family faces parallel challenges and supports you in your efforts. Our nation’s beachgoers are counting on you and I know you’ll do your best.

Lifeguards for life!
