The ISLA is LEAVING March 29, 2009 for Nicaragua with eight lifeguards, equipment, and two sponsors to assist with the lifeguarding  of the beaches around San Juan Del Sur during the busy week of Easter... Please follow us for two weeks on THIS website as we blog the entire trip and document the work we are doing!

          With a passion and dream to help others, members of the International Surf Lifesaving Association have embarked on a transcontinental bicycle journey across the United States. Their mission is to send trained lifeguards to beaches around the world by raising awareness and funds as they traverse the great American continent.

          The proceeds of this year's bicycle ride from Virginia Beach, Virginia to Huntington Beach, California will go directly to sending lifeguards to beaches in Nicaragua and establishing a permanent program to combat the horrendous amount of drownings each year. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to guarantee we fulfill these objectives and save lives.

What We Do

• Send Ocean trained lifeguards as volunteers down to Nicaragua during the countries Easter week to assist in guarding popular beaches.
• Bring along valuable ocean lifeguard equipment necessary for proper ocean safety.
• Establish a headquarter area for future lifeguards to train within Nicaragua.
