Lifeguard Tapestries
Description: While lifeguards have been around since the first Hawaiian hotel opened in 1901, ushering in the modern era of tourism, it was the Territory of Hawaii Act 201 that officially established a "Life-Saving Patrol" for Waikiki Beach that officially created the Ocean Safety Division of Oahu. Act 201 called for assignment to Waikiki Beach of two members not less than 18 and not older than 40 years of age, who were "selected for their strength and ability as swimmers and boatmen, and shall be expert in the use of the methods of resuscitation." Whether you were a big island lifeguard and feeling a bit nostalgic or just looking for a new angle to pick up chicks, this one is just for you!
Description: Hawkins Community Pool is a public swimming facility located in Hawkins, Indiana where the locals go to get their swim on and cool off in the hot summer months. As far as summer jobs go, it's hard to beat getting paid to hang out poolside, yelling at kids once in a while, and flirting with Hawkins' hottest moms, all while working on your tan.
Description: Baywatch debuted in 1989, but was cancelled after only one season, when it placed 73rd out of 103 shows in the seasonal ratings. Feeling the series still had potential, The Hoff, one of the principal actors, along with creators and executive producers, revived it for the first-run syndication market in 1991. The series went on to be hugely successful, especially internationally. The show was an action drama about lifeguards who patrol the beaches of Los Angeles County, California, and focused on both professional and personal challenges faced by the characters, portrayed by a large rotating ensemble cast.
