SAFETY! That is what Lars the Lifeguard, a fun Lori Mitchell creation and a promising young recruit in our beach safety team has drilled into his head daily. As a seasoned lifeguard, it is my duty to train and guide Lars, preparing him to take the helm one day as the head lifeguard. Dressed in his distinctive red and white swimsuit, proudly displaying the red cross on his shirt, Lars is a beacon of safety and protection on the shore.
