SUBJECT: Beach Safety Award Presentation
Okaloosa County Beach Safety was awarded the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA)

among communities across the U.S. All agencies are presented the challenge and Okaloosa
County was recognized this year. Okaloosa County Beach Safety Program is like no other
program in the nation and has proven successful with children. All Okaloosa County elementary
schools had a visit by Buddy the Dolphin, who teaches children how to be safe at the beach. His
