Lee's Summit Underwater Rescue & Recovery

09/07/2026

As we wrap up summer this Labor Day weekend, our team wants to wish everyone in Lee’s Summit and the surrounding communities a safe, relaxing holiday on and off the water! ☀️🚤

​If you’re heading out to Longview Lake, Lakewood, Jacomo or any of our local waterways, please keep safety top of mind:
✅️​Wear a life jacket — ensure it fits properly, especially for little ones.
✅️​Designate a sober skipper before launching.
✅️​Keep eyes on swimmers at all times; drowning is often silent.
✅️​Check local water conditions and weather before heading out.

​Enjoy the holiday with your family and friends. The Lee’s Summit Underwater Rescue & Recovery team is on standby and ready if needed — stay safe out there! ⚓🤿

Lee’s Summit Underwater Recovery is proud to host our 1st Annual Underwater Poker Tournament on November 7, 2026 at Blue Springs South Aquatic Center — a first-of-its-kind event for our community.

Competitors will go head-to-head in a one-of-a-kind underwater poker challenge, testing skill, breath control, and nerve, while spectators cheer them on poolside with a front-row view of all the action. It’s a night of friendly competition, camaraderie, and fun for the whole community — all in support of a great cause.

Founded in 1966, LSUR is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) public safety dive team serving the greater Kansas City metro area. Every dollar raised helps fund the equipment, training, and readiness that keep our team prepared to respond when our community needs us most.

Whether you’re playing, watching, or sponsoring, you’ll be helping ensure LSUR can keep answering the call for years to come.
