In Pop Culture
Lifeguards have become a fixture in pop culture. However, depictions of lifeguards in TV shows and movies often blend reality with fiction. These depictions have contributed to the public's perception of lifeguards.
The most popular example of lifeguards in pop culture is Baywatch, a TV show aired from 1989 to 2001.
