Kudos to dedication of Manatee County's lifeguards

Kudos to our Manatee County lifeguards!

Monday evening we attended the Manatee County Lifeguard Competition at Coquina Beach. Wow, what a great group of county employees!

Unless you see the dedication and true grit all those who competed have, you would not know how very fortunate this county is to have such talent

Thanks, lifeguards, we appreciate all you do to ensure the safety of our beachgoers.
