The Hampton Lifeguard Association (HLA) hosted its annual East Hampton Junior Lifeguard Tournament at Atlantic Avenue Beach in Amagansett, where hundreds of competitors between the ages of 9 and 15 competed in events on both Saturday and Sunday, August 5 and 6.

Events included distance run, distance swim, swim-run-paddle relay, run-swim-run relay, landline and torp rescues, paddleboard relay, 4x100 relay, and beach flags.

Many of the junior lifeguards joined their older counterparts this week in Virginia Beach for the United States Lifesaving Association’s annual National Lifeguard Championships.
