🛟 How We Help: Beach Guardian Water Safety Program 🌊

The Beach Guardian Water Safety Program helps adults build confidence, knowledge, and practical skills to become safer ocean swimmers. 💪

Participants learn how to read ocean conditions, recognize hazards and swimmers in distress, respond to emergencies, and practice first aid and hands-only CPR. Through teamwork, fitness, and ocean training, Beach Guardians develop the skills needed to safely enjoy and navigate our local beaches.

Offered this year both in Amagansett and Montauk, the program runs from June 27th to August 2nd. You can sign up at the link in our bio! ☀️

Together, we're helping create a stronger, safer beach community. 🛟

Today is National Sunscreen Day! ☀️ 🧴

HLA is proud to support sun safety through our Skin Cancer Awareness Initiative in partnership with the John Wayne Cancer Foundation’s Block the Blaze program.

Skin cancer affects 1 in 5 Americans, and as lifeguards, we know that protecting your skin is just as important as staying safe in the water. That’s why free sunscreen is available at East Hampton Town and Village beaches throughout the summer season.😎

As we head into summer, remember a few simple ways to stay sun safe:
🧴 Apply mineral sunscreen
🧢 Wear a hat
🕶️ Use sunglasses
👕 Wear protective clothing
🌳 Seek shade when possible

Thank you to the John Wayne Cancer Foundation and for helping protect our beach community all summer long. 🌊
