GUARDED takes readers inside the hidden world of California’s first women ocean lifeguards.
Every beach was run by men who claimed the biggest surf and the gnarliest conditions. Women were met with raised eyebrows: Can she cut it here?
On a cold, foggy morning in 1978, eighteen-year-old Debbie Friedman stood in the sand at Huntington Beach with one hundred men. The starting gun fired. She charged into the surf—and into a new life.
Friedman brings to life a generation of women whose stories were rarely told— intensely physical, exhilarating, and deeply human.
You’ll never look at lifeguarding the same way again.

Debbie Friedman was one of the first women hired as an ocean lifeguard in California, beginning in 1978 at San Clemente and Huntington State Beaches. When she could find no stories about her generation of first women lifeguards, she wrote this book to share their experiences.As she took a deep dive into the past, she discovered women who saved lives-each story unique, yet bound by a common purpose and a desire to serve.Her memoir, GUARDED: Women, Water, and Saving Lives, blends personal narrative with rarely shared history to tell the story of a generation of women who changed lifeguarding forever.She lives in Santa Cruz County, California, where she still swims and walks the coast.
