Join live, listen in, and come ready with questions. Take good care. June 2026: FITWELL Talks: Beach Safety, with Ocean Lifeguard and UCLA Writing Programs Instructor Nathan Deuel When he was 45 years old, longtime UCLA writing instructor Nathan Deuel took the test to join L.A. County's vaunted Ocean Lifeguard Division. After a grueling 10-week academy, during which candidates leap off piers, dive from moving Baywatch rescue boats, and learn the skills to be a good ocean lifeguard, Deuel graduated last spring and started patrolling the county's 72 miles of coastline. Join us to discuss beach safety, what it's like to be a lifeguard, and what the county is doing to keep the ocean a fun place for everyone.
