"Good Morning America" put the call out to lifeguards across the country to submit their best lip-synching video for a chance to compete to win a $10,000 prize.



Videos of teams of lifeguards having tons of fun while performing to the song "Shut Up and Dance" by Walk the Moon poured into our website. Now it’s up to America to vote among our five semi-finalists to see which three teams should earn a spot in the competition. See official rules for full details.



Voting is now closed. Watch "GMA" THURSDAY to see the summer fun lifeguard competition kick off!









1. Long Beach Island, N.J.’s North Beach Patrol

The North Beach Patrol said its members come from “all walks of life,” and include teachers, nurses, physical trainers, surfers and students. In its essay, the patrol said its equipment is often vandalized or often malfunctions. “We currently have no place to store our beach vehicles, first-aid kits, oxygen, radios and other necessary equipment to function on a daily basis. If awarded the $10,000 we would build a garage to lock up our vehicles and lifesaving equipment to protect it and in turn protect our public,” the essay said.



2.

Delaware’s Rehoboth Beach Patrol





In its entry essay, the Rehoboth Beach Patrol said it would build an observation deck with the prize money if it won, thereby enabling members to enhance efficiency. The patrol said it is proud of its community the team has become. As for why it believes it should be selected, the team said: “Although we excel in the physical aspect, we have many creative minds on our patrol. Our ability to think outside the box really separates us from any other organization out there. This is what keeps us one step ahead of the rest. If given the chance, we would like to show America our family’s talent and individuality. We had a fantastic time filming this video together and hope that America enjoys watching us just as much.”



3. Austin, Texas’ Barton Springs Pool Lifeguards







The Barton Springs team says its skills are tested every day, and that its members are put through “a very demanding training schedule” that includes rigorous testing and preparation with local emergency responders. “We care about keeping the visitors to this magnificent pool safe and we work hard every day to do just that. A chance for our team to compete with other entities throughout the country would not only be an honor and a privilege, but it would also provide a chance to show the nation the pride, safety, and vigor that City of Austin Aquatics brings to its citizens daily.”



4. Wisconsin’s Milwaukee County Lifeguard Corps

The corps comprises 230 lifeguards who staff 16 locations, according to the entry essay. “Our history makes us an unparalleled group filled with pride and tradition. We take our roles very seriously and train very diligently, yet we ensure we have programs in place that reward and allow our competitive lifeguards to have fun including water polo, lifeguard competitions and things like this video … Now let’s “shut up and dance!”

5. The City of Gulf Shores, Alabama Lifeguards

The Gulf Shores Patrol said the majority of its members are firefighters. In addition to its primary coverage area in Gulf Shores, the team’s lifeguards also provide mutual aid to Orange Beach, the Gulf State Park, and the Fort Morgan Peninsula, which can extend their area of responsibility for almost thirty miles, the patrol said in its essay. “These selfless men and women are ready to show America they know how to stay cool under pressure, connect with the community and beachgoers, and have FUN!” the team said in its essay.
