The highest paid Los Angeles lifeguards earn up to $392,000 annually — and dozens of others rake in more than $200,000 a year, according to an investigation by Forbes.

Seven LA County lifeguards earned more than $300,000 in taxpayer dough by tapping into overtime pay in 2019, the latest year available, Forbes found.

Meanwhile, 82 of the sun-soaked public employees made more than $200,000 during the same year, according to the outlet, which cited data obtained by its own auditors.

How times have changed! I was making $1.25-$1.50/hr as a lifeguard for City of Chicago on Lake Michigan in late 50’s early 60’s. And that was pretty good at the time!

Cool! I was a Chicago lifeguard too! It was a great scene.

This says police and firemen make a lot more in California.

I am a good swimmer too, but do I have to look like David Hasselhoff?
