Please join us to honor the lifesavers who sit on the edge of their seats to protect those who visit our beaches every day by supporting this year’s USLA National Championships hosted by The Virginia Beach Lifeguard Association.

The Virginia Beach Lifeguard Association is a 501C-3 Non Profit local chapter of the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA), the national organization of open water lifesavers committed to reducing drowning and preventing injury in the aquatic environment. The VBLA is comprised mainly of current members and alumni of the Virginia Beach Lifesaving Service, and friends of the surf lifesaving community.

Each summer the VBLA completes its mission of promoting beach safety through multiple avenues. The VBLA has provided free public safety presentations to elementary schools, military commands and fortune 500 companies. VBLA members volunteer to monitor open water events that raise thousands of dollars for charities. Finally, VBLA hosts and participates in local, regional, and national competitions to motivate guards to train harder and better work together to protect the citizens and visitors to Virginia Beach.
