The 2023 John T. Goudy Memorial Rescue Races were held in Ventnor on Friday, Aug 18.
The best and most fun. 18 beach patrols. Ocean conditions unparalleled this year. The waves were beautiful, powerful and exactly what made this race the best of the season.
The Goudy Memorials are simulated rescue races showcasing skills necessary for competent ocean lifeguards.
