On Duty:

'Being a lifeguard is not a summer job. It’s a lifelong commitment.'

I can't think about summer without thinking about lifeguards.  Images of hot hunks in speedos, like Tim and Nick above were the stuff of teenage dreams.  When I was kid there were lifeguards everywhere, at lakes and beaches.  Summer recreation jobs for students and lovers of spending the summer's under the sun.   Since we only had a few decent beach months, there wasn't much demand for career lifeguards, unless you wanted to work, and teach lessons in one of the cities few indoor pools.

I remember many summer afternoons trying not to get caught staring at the lifeguard stand.   The best time was shift change, that's when often, when one hottie was coming in, and another was going home, there might be a quick change.  We all discreetly checked out the speedo bulges and hoped for a bend over, or hint of butt crack.

With August now in full swing, it's time for FH's obligatory lifeguard post.  T his year however, it comes with the solving of a mystery.   Now, the answer to my question, maybe not be mystery to all of you, especially those who live in Australia.   Do you know why Aussie lifesavers often had intentional wedgies?  

I think I first saw images of the unique lifeguard look on the still missed Aussielicous site created and run by photographer Brenton Parry. old.  At first I thought the lifeguards were wearing thongs, but looking closer, as one does, I could tell the guys purposely slid their speedos up in into the butt cracks.  

I then assumed, maybe it was simply to get a more all over tan.  Although I love a great tan line, the purpose had nothing to do with getting a little more sun exposure.   The purpose was more technical with a very specific purpose.  For those few, like me, who didn't know, the image just below gives a bit of a hint.
