Honoring Lifeguard Legends in Long Beach | Long Beach News

Long Beach honored two legendary lifeguard pioneers, Dick Miller and Pat Flynn, by dedicating their names to the city’s Junior Lifeguard facility — a program they founded in 1971 that’s trained thousands of young ocean safety leaders. From just 63 kids to over 800 this summer, their legacy lives on in every junior lifeguard who learns rescue skills, leadership, and the value of public service. The historic 1930s building, freshly renovated, now stands as a tribute to their decades of dedication — Miller, former chief of Long Beach Lifeguards, and Flynn, who rose from beach patrol to search and rescue — whose combined vision continues to keep the coast safe and inspire generations.
