Our Mission

The goal of the Santa Cruz State Lifeguard Association is to promote water safety, education, and improve professional lifeguard standards and morale as it pertains to its execution in the California State Parks.

The Sandman Triathlon is one of Santa Cruz County's longest-running triathlons. The inaugural race was way back in 1985, during the infancy of the sport.

The Junior Lifeguard Program emphasizes: Teamwork, Leadership, and Aquatic Safety while introducing young people to aquatic recreational and professional opportunities.
