2026 SALA Regional Lifeguard Championships
July 15, 2026 to July 16, 2026
The South Atlantic Lifesaving Association Regional Lifeguard Championships are a United States Lifesaving Association sanctioned surf lifesaving competition featuring athletes from professional and volunteer ocean rescue agencies across the South Atlantic.
Lifeguard competitions are high-intensity, multi-discipline events that test the same skills ocean lifeguards rely on every day—speed, strength, endurance, surf awareness, and teamwork—through races in swimming, running, paddling, rescues, and combined events.
Expect to see the top competitors from Virginia Beach, VA to Jacksonville Beach, FL compete for individual and team honors while celebrating the tradition, skill, and camaraderie of the lifesaving profession.
