As a former lifeguard who was very proud of the job, I really enjoyed this show! The guys sitting behind me were also former lifeguards, and I saw multiple people I had guarded with in the past there, too. Lifeguard culture is hard to explain to people who haven't worked it, but most of us take a lot of pride in that job, so much more than you could imagine for a part-time job most people do while they're students and never again.

Kathryn Haggis does a really good job getting this across. I feel like the plot gets a bit lost halfway through, but Kathryn is a great storyteller and I was happy to just sit there and listen to whatever direction she wanted to take us. I'm not sure how much wide appeal there would be for a show like this and I'm not sure that the average Fringe goer would come away enjoying it as much as me, but if the target demographic is people who love(d) lifeguarding, it is definitely succeeding.
