Lifeguards from across the southeast are competing to see who's the best.
North Myrtle Beach is hosting the South Atlantic Lifesaving Association Competition.
The competitions are separated by age and gender including beach, landline rescue, surf, and relays.
It's meant to test the skills professional ocean lifeguards use daily.
"Its tough," said Jake Coombs of Fernandina Beach, FL. "I always get butterflies in my stomach every time, but you just gotta remember your training, that's the biggest thing, just all the muscle memory."
The competition continues Thursday at the end of Main Street in North Myrtle Beach from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
