Sayulita Lifeguard Tower dedicated (2)

On Feb 26th 2018 the first of four lifeguard towers was dedicated on the north beach of Sayulita, Nayarit. The tower was funded by Groupo Sayulita, designed and built by Cyd Viator of Phoenix AZ using 100% recycled plastic.

FFCB is working with Protection Civil to add additional towers to the remaining beaches of Bahia de Banderas                                                         

The four Sayulita lifeguard towers will remain the property of Groupo Pro Sayulita and Protection Civil received approvals from the Federal authorities to place them on the beaches. They will also hire more lifeguards and support the local vo lunteer lifeguard program.

The first tower was dedicated in memory of all who have lost their lives on the north beach, and specifically, Zack Chambers, Mark Stoneberg, and Diego Ramos, three drownings that have occurred since 2010.

 Firefighters Crossing Borders members and the Zack Chambers Foundation began working to improve emergency services in Sayulita after the tragic death of a Zack Chambers in 2010. Over the years FFCB’s instructors have trained well over a hundred volunteer lifeguards for the areas beaches.

In 2012 FFCB partnered with Groupo Pro Sayulita a Sayulita non-provide focused on improving life in Sayulita. Together with local government officials we continue working on beach safety.

Firefighters Crossing Boarders is coordinating another lifeguard training event for March 13 & 14 in preparation for the Easter crowds.

Thanks to all who have helped make and will continue to make the beaches of Bahia de Banderas a safer place.
