With August comes the inevitable return to college for some of our wonderful, multifaceted, student-lifeguards. It’s always bittersweet to watch the team get smaller and smaller as more and more guards have their final day on stand for the year. Before some left, we made sure to grab some photos of this seasons super strong YOR 2026 TEAM!
This group shows up everyday throughout the summer to ensure everyone that visits the beach leaves safely. From water rescues, medicals, missing people, and general ambassadorship, this team truly does it all.
