Southampton Village Ocean Rescue

Southampton Village Ocean Rescue Southampton Village Ocean Rescue (SVOR), a volunteer organization, responds to all open water emergencies 24/7, year-round in and around Southampton, NY.

MISSION:

Founded in 2018, the mission of Southampton Village Ocean Rescue (SVOR) is to respond to emergencies in the ocean and bay, throughout the Village of Southampton, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
​
SVOR is a volunteer organization, dedicated to making expeditious and safe water rescues year-round at all unprotected beaches in and around Southampton Village. Every month SVOR trains in d

ifferent locations, coordinating with numerous emergency agencies, to be prepared for any aquatic emergency. SVOR rescuers are ocean lifeguard- and CPR-certified.
​
Members actively promote water safety and education. SVOR initiated the Lifeguard Training program for anyone 16 years or older, as well as the Junior Lifeguard Training program, for those ages 11 to 14 and the programs will be expanded in the future. Educational information about rip currents is distributed during Beach Safety Week and at various events throughout the summer. Pre-season water safety programs for caregivers will be offered by SVOR. Notably, SVOR is responsible for the installation of rip current signs at all Southampton Village ocean beach access points.
​
In addition, members safeguard swimmers in charitable events that involve open water, as well as other water-related functions in Southampton. We are here to save lives!
