Program Description

Event Details

Author Michael T. Martino chronicles the history of lifeguards along the San Diego coast. His first volume covers the pre-lifeguard years, where citizens provided the rescues, through to the creation of the city’s lifeguard service. From the ashes of tragic incidents has grown a dedicated professional service that sees its greatest gift in saving another person’s life.

 

Michael T. Martino has served in every capacity as a lifeguard with California State Parks, all the way up to Chief Lifeguard, as well as chair of the San Diego Regional Aquatic Lifesaving Emergency Response Taskforce.
