Kevin Konarski’s induction into the Smith Point Lifeguard Hall of Fame recognizes a career marked by leadership, athletic excellence, and a steadfast commitment to public safety. A 4-time High School County Swim Champion and 4-time All-State Swimmer, Kevin brought elite talent to every level of competition.
