❤️🛟 Today is International Lifeguard Appreciation Day! 🛟❤️

But we wanted to take an extra moment to recognize those closest to us and our community.

This group of young rescuers do more than watch the water.
⛑ From constant training to ensure they're prepared for any emergency...
🧐 Maintaining a vigilant eye to keep danger at bay...
🌞 Bearing the brutal Texas summer heat...
🏊 Teaching hundreds of swimming lessons...
🗣 Countless whistle blasts...
🚨 And even a handful of water rescues! 🚨

It's all in an effort to create a safe space for our community to swim, play, and relax!

So THANK YOU to all of our Friendswood City Pool Lifeguards 🙌 our very own Summer Season Superheroes!

Next time you visit the pool, be sure to give kudos and thank these PROfessional Pool Peeps😎🌊
