Our purpose is to bring awareness to the public of what area lifeguards do for them and their families. Due to the recent downturn of the economy, families are looking for ways to spend time together without having to dig deep in their pockets and spend their hard earned money. That being said, local beaches are more crowded than ever!
The Vero Beach Lifeguard Association has been created to help support local lifeguards via fundraising community events. Please continue to follow us on facebook to see what events we have coming up. Thank you for all of your future support.
Welcome to Vero Beach Lifeguard Association
