Debbie Friedman wondered if there was some kind of mistake.<\/p>\n

She was a strong competitive swimmer from Mission Viejo who was urged by a fellow teammate to tryout to be a lifeguard.<\/p>\n

Sounded like a good gig, with decent pay \u2014 so she thought, why not?<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until she showed up on the sand at Huntington State Beach that Friedman realized she was the only woman among the 100 lifeguard hopefuls that chilly February morning in 1978, a milestone moment in not just her life, but women\u2019s lifeguarding history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere were the other women?\u201d she wondered, as detailed in her recently published book \u201cGuarded: Women, Water and Saving Lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy am I the only one here? Did I make a mistake?\u201d<\/p>\n

As beachgoers head to the coast this holiday weekend, they\u2019ll see a mix of men and women guarding the waters, rescuing people from rip currents and keeping them safe from other hazards in and out of the ocean.<\/p>\n

But five decades ago, women \u201cmanning\u201d the towers was an unlikely sight. It was a time when just a few females up and down the coastline were changing the profession \u2014 one stretch of beach at a time \u2014 and paving the way for future generations of women lifeguards.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Friedman will be in Orange County in coming days discussing her book, the first stop at 6 p.m. at Beach Town Books in San Clemente on May 27, followed by a talk at 1 p.m. on May 30 at Girl in the Curl surf shop in Dana Point \u2014 there she will be joined by the first-ever lifeguard and champion surfer Joyce Hoffman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Friedman\u2019s book details not just her own experience as the first permanent State Parks lifeguard and her years spent in San Clemente and Huntington Beach, but also those of others who braved the all-male professional ranks about the same time, including Hoffman, known as the first female lifeguard when she earned a summer job guarding the city of Del Mar in 1971.<\/p>\n

Friedman, who finished her guarding career in 1990 and now calls Santa Cruz home, said she was surprised no book on the topic of early female lifeguards existed when she started exploring the idea of writing about her experiences.<\/p>\n

She started contacting others she knew from the 1970s who broke barriers at beaches up and down the coast.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

It was three years ago, while chatting with friend and colleague Mike Brousard, who authored the book \u201cWarm Winds and Following Seas: Reflections of a Lifeguard,\u201d that Friedman said she declared she was ready to write the book.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just blurted it out, \u2018I\u2019m going to write a book, for good or for bad,\u2019\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n

She spent a year interviewing women, realizing they were all eager to tell their stories, each uniquely their own.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was encouraged that my story reflected many women of this generation,\u201d she said. \u201cThere was value in telling my own story, but I wanted to tell all the stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more I knew, there were no two stories alike. Everyone was different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoffman was an accomplished surfer going up against males in the \u201960s and \u201970s, and a celebrity in and out of the water, by the time Huntington Beach Chief Vince Moorhouse chatted with Del Mar Captain Gardner Stevens about allowing her to join the lifeguard ranks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a radical idea \u2014 revolutionary \u2014 especially for two men with traditional leadership roles in guarding,\u201d Friedman writes in the book.<\/p>\n

They had watched Hoffman, 23, win the U.S. Surfing Championships at the Huntington Beach Pier and knew she was more than capable in the surf.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t see Joyce as a model for equality. Lifeguarding was a man\u2019s world \u2026 Joyce was an anomaly, a curiosity among men,\u201d Friedman writes. \u201cIf she could pass the lifeguard tryout test, it wouldn\u2019t mean other women could do the job. It would simply mean Joyce could.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book details her tryouts in 1971, surrounded by men, reporters on the sand documenting the milestone moment, and her two summers of guarding at the San Diego beach as California\u2019s first female ocean lifeguard before moving on to her next adventure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt a whole lot of womanhood pressure,\u201d Hoffman is quoted in the book saying.<\/p>\n

It was a similar feeling Friedman remembers a few years later during her tryouts and training.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, I didn\u2019t know I was going to be the only woman on the starting line, the only one in training,\u201d she said, speaking from her Santa Cruz home. \u201cWe were definitely unknown factors, being questioned regarding our strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

Los Angeles County\u2019s first female lifeguard, Wendy Paskin in 1974, was required to sling a man over her back and carry him to shore to prove her strength, a test only given to her, not the other males trying for the same job.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomehow that became a rite of passage for women lifeguards,\u201d Friedman wrote.<\/p>\n

During Friedman\u2019s rookie training in 1978, she faced the same test.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll eyes were on me, the only woman. Half the class wanted to see me succeed, the other half wanted me to drop him, hoping for a car-crash moment with blood and guts,\u201d she wrote, detailing how she carried the man to shore, set him down, adding that she\u2019s never seen the carry rescue done in any real ocean rescue.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t write the book to be a list of grievances, she said, but wanted to put the readers in the women\u2019s shoes, to illustrate what it was like to enter the uncharted waters of the time.<\/p>\n

Some moments in the book, in today\u2019s world, seem silly \u2014 like the men who worried about where the women would go to the bathroom, or change into uniform.<\/p>\n

The women interviewed were generous in sharing their stories, Friedman said, to let readers know what it was like to be a woman in the 1970s, the sense of accomplishment, but also the fears.<\/p>\n

Kim Raymont joined Friedman following training that first summer in San Clemente, developing a kinship so they had someone to turn to when they each needed support.<\/p>\n

But many of the pioneers were going it alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were all isolated on our own beaches,\u201d Friedman said. \u201cThere was no one exchanging notes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friedman was lucky to have a group of men that supported them, but the story wasn\u2019t the same at other beaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were still women for the first time being seen, and questioned, in the \u201980s,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Lifeguarding has a huge learning curve no matter what the person\u2019s gender, Friedman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the women I spoke to, we just wanted to do a good job,\u201d she said. \u201cWe needed a mentor and the same support any rookie got.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friedman would be a lifeguard for about 12 years, moving up the ranks, and through the years helping to mentor other female lifeguards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fell in love with lifeguarding,\u201d she said.\u00a0 \u201cI was just trying to move forward in a job and culture I loved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brousard, who worked for State Parks for more than 40 years, remembers when Friedman and Raymont showed up on the sand for their lifeguard jobs in San Clemente.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were all freaking out about it,\u201d recalled Brousard, who still lives in San Clemente and has stayed close friends with Friedman. \u201cOur locker room at that time was a hive of sophomoric hijinks. We were afraid they would come in and put a damper on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t long before the women proved themselves and the worries eased, he recalled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest thing was they were rocket-fast swimmers,\u201d he said. \u201cFor about a week, we were circling them, trying to figure out their story. They just did their job and did it well.\u201d<\/p>\n

By the end of the summer, at least in his eyes, they had been accepted and fit right in with the crew of other lifeguards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know there are things they had to contend with I didn\u2019t understand at the time,\u201d he said, noting that within three years following Friedman and Raymont\u2019s appearance, there were another six or seven women on staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, at San Clemente State Beach, they fit right in,\u201d he said. \u201cThey earned their place on the roster. They were great lifeguards. They paid attention and were not prone to doing the silly stuff the guys were known for \u2014 they took care of business.\u201d<\/p>\n

He chuckles at the stories of how, on several occasions, victims refused a buoy because their rescuer was a woman.<\/p>\n

Several books in recent years, including two written by Brousard, have shared the lifeguard experience. But Friedman\u2019s is the first to do it through the lens of a woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a groundbreaking book,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Friedman has had book signings and gatherings in her hometown of Santa Cruz, but is excited, she said, for her appearances in South Orange County, where her story began.<\/p>\n

\u201cA world without women lifeguards seems crazy,\u201d she said. \u201cIn my lifetime, it seems normal.\u201d<\/p>\n
