This year’s Bethany-Fenwick Area Lifeguard Awards is August 12.
The Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Big Chill Beach Club, will host the annual Lifeguard Awards on Tuesday, August 12, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., celebrating the region’s top lifeguards and their service to local beach communities.
The event, held under the event tent at the Big Chill Beach Club, will feature a festive evening of music by DJ Bump, scenic views, and a taco bar.
But the spotlight of the night will be on the lifeguards themselves, as each local patrol—including Bethany Beach, Delaware Seashore State Park, Fenwick Island, Middlesex Beach, North Bethany, Sea Colony, South Bethany, and Sussex Shores—names their 2025 Lifeguard of the Year.
In addition to individual patrol honors, special recognition will go to local guards competing in the 2025 USLA National Lifeguard Championships in Huntington State Beach, California.

The Chamber is helping sponsor qualifying participants as part of its continued support for the region’s public safety professionals.
The event is a chance to say thank you to the men and women who work hard every day to keep our beaches safe.
Lifeguards attend free of charge, thanks to contributions from local sponsors.
Families and members of the public are invited to attend for $10. A limited-edition 2025 roster t-shirt, designed by Fells Point Surf Company, will be available to guards who register by July 24. Those registering the day of the event may purchase shirts at a discounted rate.
Complimentary parking will be provided to all registered attendees. For more details or to register, click here or call (302) 539-2100.
