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.

With his red flippers on his feet, Lars is ready for swift and efficient swimming to reach anyone in need of assistance. His training sessions are intense but rewarding, as he hones his skills in water rescue techniques and CPR. It fills my heart with pride to witness Lars' dedication and passion for saving lives.

However, I must admit that Lars has a flair for style and a mischievous charm that goes beyond his lifeguard duties. His cool shades and perfectly styled pompadour hairdo seem to attract attention, particularly from the ladies. While it's essential to maintain a professional demeanor on the beach, I understand the allure of youthful exuberance and a touch of playfulness.

In addition to his primary role as a lifeguard, Lars proves to be a versatile figure for various displays. He adds a touch of patriotic spirit to any beach-themed collection and can even be a delightful addition to a Halloween display, embracing the joy of trick-or-treating.

As Lars continues to grow and learn, I have no doubt that he will excel in his lifeguarding duties and become a role model for others. With his passion, skills, and undeniable charisma, Lars has the potential to become a leader, ensuring the safety and enjoyment of beach goers for years to come.

So, here's to Lars the Lifeguard, our future guardian of the beach, may his dedication and enthusiasm inspire others and keep our shores safe for all who seek the sun, sand, and sea.
