2015 Ocean City Crew Comps (26 photos)

The 17 crews that make up Ocean City Beach Patrol have been competing against one another in tests of physical and mental ย fitness since 1976. ย The Crew Competitions gives Ocean City Beach Patrol the chance to demonstrate their lifesaving skills and the community a chance to celebrate all that the Beach Patrol does for them. Competitionย  builds team spirit and encourages lifeguards to keep in top shape. ย It’sย ย essential to the success of a lifeguard. Why? Because every time a lifeguard gets in the water, they have to defeat the oceanย .

During the Crew Comps crews channel their competition in a festive atmosphere.

The 2015 Crew Comps took place on Saturday, ย July 25, on the ย North Division Street beach. ย Here’s a recap:

The event kicked off with the Land Line. ย ย  Each crewย used a system of ropes to rescue their designated victim.
