While I was there in April I noticed a few Lifeguards in front of my hotel were on VHF DMR. Couldn't find any information on it. Does anyone have updates?

Scanfan,
If the database has inaccurate information, please use the submit button on the appropriate page to provide the updated information. It will benefit everyone, instead of just those that are reading this thread.
Remember, many scanner listeners use radios that rely on information from RRDB, and may have never seen RadioReference. Accurate information in the database helps them, too.

I'm going next month for a week. My goal is to identify frequencies used by the 3 different lifeguard companies. I'll submit my findings.

Digital Frequency Search
On the DFS site there are many "Myrtle Beach Communication" frequencies. Wondering if any of these might be what the life guards are using? I'm searching all the possible DMR but of course they don't have in description what the life guards are monitoring on. Any ideas? Thanks

Well I'm here in Myrtle Beach. I do have a lifeguard stand in front of my hotel. It is Motorola DMR and from the antenna it appears to be VHF. I've been scanning for a day now. Nothing on close call.
Check UHF.
Myrtle Beach Lifeguards - Johns Beach Services
I have submitted updates for the Lacks Beach Service DMR System and Brian has updated the files.
Lacks covers the majority of the lifeguard stands in Myrtle Beach. Johns Beach Services handles an area on the North end, (of Myrtle Beach - NOT North Myrtle beach, that's a different city with different services). I'm currently unclear on the dividing lines between them but Johns covers AT LEAST from 52nd Ave N to 77th Ave N. I believe that Johns area is sandwiched in between Lacks L chairs, (middle), and Lacks N chairs, (North). I still working on that.
Anyway, Johns Beach services has abandoned their old UHF frequencies and are now on the Myrtle Beach Communications 800 MHz DMR Mototurbo Connect Plus System, (listed here on RadioReference). Use the Myrtle Beach site and Talkgroup 226. They may also use Talkgroup 24000. I know 226 is Johns Beach Services for sure. The 24000 talk group is lifeguards but don't exactly know who yet.
I will be submitting an update to Brian for him to update the Myrtle Beach Communications 800 MHz DMR Mototurbo Connect Plus System with this and other information.
I will also post another reply to this thread about the dividing lines between Lacks South, L, (Middle), and North chairs.
I will also post another reply to this thread about a THIRD Beach service on the extreme South end covering Surfside Beach and Garden City.
Happy monitoring my friends and 73,
