The video shows the lifeguards dancing, crowd-surfing, swimming, training and pretending to be bowling pins. Cameo appearances were made by the Bandstand and, at the end, Capt. Kent Buckson.
In its entry submission, the patrol said it would use the prize money to build an observation deck.
The Rehoboth Beach Patrol is up against lifeguards from Long Island Beach, N.J.; Barton Springs Pool in Austin, Texas; Milwaukee County, Wisc.; and Gulf Shores, Ala.
