The City of Long Beach Department of Parks and Recreation, in cooperation with the city’s beach patrol, hosted the 12th annual Lifeguard Memorial Swim at 9 a.m. on the Riverside Boulevard beach on Sunday, August 11.
The one-mile swim is in honor of all the deceased men and women who have served on Long Beach’s beach patrol team. All swimmers over the age of 14 who can swim one mile in 55 minutes or less, were invited to participate, and took to the sand and waters.
