The Taplin Relay is a thrilling four person team event, where each athlete races through the surf in a sequence of Ski, Board, Swim and Run legs. The order of the sequence of the legs are drawn at random on the first day of the competition. This requires competitors to be adaptable which is a very important skill that they utilize daily as professional lifeguards. 2024 Southwest Regional Championships- 🥇 Alexander Cole, Lukas Pohlman, Eben Krigger, Tim Burdiak @lacountyslsa 🥈 Brian Murphy, Patrick Jacobson, David Cartlidge, Trent Bowles @lacountyslsa 🥉 Jack Valdez, Roman Higgins, Rich Sprout, Ben Brewer @calstatesurfracing 🎥 @thephotovideographer #usla #uslifesaving #LifeguardsForLife #SurfLifeSaving #RescueReady #USlifesavingSport #Lifesaving #Surflifesaving #california #lacounty #beachflags #SWRegionals #CSLSA
