MD Park Service to Host Annual Lifeguard Competition

State Park Lifeguards from across Maryland will compete in the Maryland Park Service (MPS) Lifeguard Competition at 1 p.m. on August 9 at Deep Creek Lake State Park in Garrett County.
“The Maryland Park Service employs some of the most dedicated, talented young adults as lifeguards at State Park beaches, lakes and pools,” said MPS Superintendent Nita Settina. “This competition showcases the skills that those guards utilize every day to ensure the safety of our visitors.”

Lifeguards from Deep Creek Lake, Herrington Manor, New Germany, Greenbrier, Sandy Point, Gunpowder Falls, Rocky Gap, Dan’s Mountain, Point Lookout, Cunningham Falls, Pocomoke River and Assateague State Parks are expected to compete in the event. Challenges will include a 300-yard swim, a rescue race, beach flags, the “Iron Guard” relay and the “Ultimate Challenge” obstacle course, in which lifeguards will compete for individual and team prizes.


Children and spectators will also have an opportunity to compete for prizes in a variety of water safety activities, featuring “PFD Panda,” the Department of Natural Resources’ water safety mascot.
