Over the next twelve years, Freeth taught Southern Californians to surf and swim while creating a modern lifeguard service that transformed the beach into a destination for fun, leisure, and excitement. Patrick Moser places Freeth's inspiring life story against the rise of the Southern California beach culture he helped shape and define. Freeth made headlines with his rescue of seven fishermen, an act of heroism that highlighted his innovative lifeguarding techniques. But he also founded California's first surf club and coached both male and female athletes, including Olympic swimming champion and "father of modern surfing" Duke Kahanamoku. Often in financial straits, Freeth persevered as a teacher and lifeguarding pioneer--building a legacy that endured long after his death during the 1919 influenza pandemic. A compelling merger of biography and sports history, Surf and Rescue brings to light the forgotten figure whose novel way of seeing the beach sparked the imaginations of people around the world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Freeth, George, $c Jr., $d 1883-1919. 650 0 $a Surfers $z Hawaii $v Biography. 650 0 $a Swimming $x Coaching. 650 0 $a Lifeguards $z California $x History. 650 0 $a Lifesaving $z California $x History. 650 0 $a Beaches $z California. 650 0 $a California $x Social life and customs. 650 7 $a SPORTS & RECREATION / Water Sports / Surfing. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Sports. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Beaches. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00829107 650 7 $a Lifeguards. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00998397 650 7 $a Lifesaving. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00998400 650 7 $a Surfers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139319 650 7 $a Swimming $x Coaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01140334 651 7 $a California. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204928 651 7 $a Hawaii. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208724 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Moser, Patrick (Patrick J.), 1963- $t Surf and rescue $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, [2022] $z 9780252053443 $w (DLC) 2021056963 830 0 $a Sport and society. 941 $a 6 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021715.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014503.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025014334.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024309.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220914010509.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220902010751.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=284D867E027111EDA0047F1F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
