Lifeguard Heritage Exhibit Highlights San Clemente System
Retired chiefs Bob Isenor and others, including Steve Long, co-curate a summer exhibit at San Clemente State Beach detailing the evolution of California state lifeguarding from early Long Beach beginnings in 1908 through the expansions at San Clemente, Doheny, and Huntington. The oral history covers campgrounds, Civilian Conservation Corps builds, and the Navy era equipment that shaped lifeguard culture.
