Lifeguard! Southern California, Thursday @ 9pm

Every summer a mass of humanity descends onto the sandy beaches of Southern California. From the tanned celebrities in Malibu, to the fearless teens boogie boarding at the Wedge in Newport, to the surfers in San Diego — the coast is the place to be. This is the domain patrolled by Lifeguard! — the bravest, best-trained lifeguards in the world, making over 10,000 saves a year.

Lifeguard! is a half hour docudrama, 13 episode series that follows the men and women who are called to guard the treacherous and varied terrain of 150 miles of coastline. From Malibu to San Diego, these are the busiest, most popular beaches in America — and we'll be there, bringing you an "up close and personal" view from the lifeguards themselves.
