Two teams from NSVL and three teams from North Tyneside (made up mostly of NSVL members, took to the sea for the annual North East Regional Beach Lifeguard competition on 13th July.  Photos now available online.

While our teams didn't make the medals, the winning team from Sunderland had one member of NSVL on it, as did the team from Redcar in third place.

Special mention must go to Sarah Spence who rescued a competitor from another team who had got into difficulties while performing the casualty rescue.  This may have put the NSVL team back in last placefor the event but we are proud that she did the right thing.
