Santa Monica Lifeguards

The Argonaut has published a good review of a new book by Arthur C. Verge on the history of the Santa Monica lifeguards. The new book reportedly credits the lifeguards and the Santa Monica Lifeguard Service, which merged with the Los Angeles County Lifeguard Service in 1974, with turning Santa Monica into the tourist destination it has become. The book documents turn-of-the-century rescues and the early history of local attraction Muscle Beach, and includes documentation from Verge’s collection of over 2000 historic photographs of the Santa Monica lifeguards.
