East Hampton Town’s annual junior lifeguard tournament, bringing together trainees ages 9 to 15 for competitions in the water and on the beach, is set to take place at Atlantic Avenue Beach in Amagansett on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Contestants have been honing their skills in programs at Atlantic Avenue, Kirk Park Beach in Montauk, and Main Beach in East Hampton.

Expect parking — and space on the sand — to be at a premium both days. Those not planning to watch the tournament may want to head to a different beach.
