LIFEGUARD OF THE THIRD QUARTER

Congratulations to Steven “Wyatt” Higginbotham for earning Lifeguard Of The Third Quarter. Wyatt has shown time and time again that he can be counted on to jump into action when it matters most. Wyatt has been involved in numerous rescues throughout the season that would have otherwise become tragedies without his services. Wyatt consistently shows up to work with a great attitude and continues to set the bar for future 1st year guards after him. Wyatt is a great example of a lifeguard who will give it his 100% no matter the task at hand.

Please join us in congratulating Wyatt on a job well done!
