The Bloomington Family Aquatic Center, 201 East 90th Street, will host the 2023 Twin Cities Regional Lifeguard Games on July 30. Ten teams of four lifeguards each are expected to participate.
“Lifeguard games offer area lifeguards the chance to test their skills and knowledge against other lifeguards in a fun, but competitive lifeguard competition with water rescues, first aid and CPR scenarios,” Recreation Supervisor David Benson said.
The City offers an internal competition to decide which four Bloomington lifeguards will compete at the regional games.
Teams sign up and the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association issues waivers that allow them to participate. The public is not permitted inside the facility to watch, but can view the competitions from outside the fenced area of the pool space.
