UCalgary Lifeguard Games
Stay tuned for our 2024 Lifeguard Games!
Public is welcome.

You've never seen a lifeguarding competition like this before
Being a champion lifeguard is about more than looking cool in flip-flops.
The University of Calgary Lifeguard Games presents a unique opportunity to test your lifeguard training and skills in a competitive environment. Teams will tackle a series of fitness challenges, in-pool scenarios, lifeguard skills and knowledge, first aid situations, and fun lifeguard games.
While there are prizes for the tops team, the real winners are the teams who have a ton of fun in this wacky competition.
