Look at the other women in the back looking at the women upfront in bathing suits... they are most probably saying: "What a disgrace that these youth are going so naked" - thanks goodness times have changed! :)

Or they are thinking "Good, they're not wasting their time, they're knitting while they watch out for people drowning."

Los Angeles County Lifeguards, by Arthur C. Verge books.google.com/books?id=ukpkvGQvbY4C suggests (a) that Venice had lifeguards by 1909 and (b) after lifeguard teams across Los Angeles had been combined, LA county's first female lifeguard was hired in 1930. So I wonder whether these are women replacing men during WWI. Or did women have special guard responsibilities related to children?

The reel at right, under the bell, must be to help pull people to safety. The notice on the post reads, "Break Glass, Turn Button, in case of danger."
