What is the Volusia Surf Lifesaving Association?

The Volusia Surf Lifesaving Association, or VSLA, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing surf lifesaving through competition, education, training, community outreach, and drowning prevention throughout Volusia County.

Who can get involved with VSLA?

VSLA welcomes lifeguards, athletes, students, volunteers, families, and community members who want to support surf lifesaving and water safety. Opportunities vary by program and may include competitions, youth activities, volunteering, events, and community initiatives.

Do I need to be a lifeguard to participate?

Not always. Some competitions and programs have specific lifeguard, membership, age, or eligibility requirements, while other events and community programs are open to the public. Check the details for each program or contact VSLA if you are unsure.

How can I support VSLA?

You can support VSLA by donating, volunteering, attending events, purchasing merchandise, sponsoring programs, or helping spread awareness about drowning prevention and surf lifesaving. Every contribution helps us grow lifesaving opportunities in our community.
