“the Virginia Beach Lifesaving Service started in 1930, and it is the largest and oldest beach lifesaving service in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Over their almost 90-year existence, thousands of lifeguards have come through this program and provided critical services to the millions of visitors who travel to Virginia Beach annually. Virginia Beach Lifesaving Service employs around 200 lifesavers each summer to guard and patrol more than 5 miles of public oceanfront beaches. This was on full display for the Fourth of July holiday shown here. Virginia Beach Lifesaving personnel are trained in surf lifesaving surveillance and rescue techniques, as well as emergency medical response. Under the leadership of Tom Gill, the Virginia Beach Lifesaving Service also hosts and participates in local, regional, and national competitions to motivate guards to train harder and better work together to protect the citizens and visitors of the oceanfront. Madam Speaker, I offer my sincere appreciation to the Virginia Beach Lifesaving Service for providing the highest level of care to the citizens and visitors that enjoy our beautiful beaches.”
