Rehoboth hosts 44th Lifeguard Olympics

July 30, 2021

Rehoboth Beach Patrol hosted the 44th annual Lifeguard Olympics July 29. A total of 11 teams from Delaware and Maryland battled it out on the beach at Baltimore Avenue, and when the flying sand settled, the Middlesex team took the victory and bragging rights for the 2021 summer.

Events included the landline rescue race, one-mile run, half-mile paddle, half-mile swim, 4-by-200 soft sand sprint relay, run-swim-run, paddleboard rescue race, iron man medley, beach flags and the six-person tug-of-war.

Ocean City Beach Patrol and Middlesex Beach Patrol tied for the championship, so bragging rights were determined by a game of rock, paper, scissors.
