Bournemouth man Chris Lewis sets Guinness World Record as longest-serving lifeguard
Chris Lewis has been rescuing local swimmers and tourists on Dorset resort's beaches for 58 years.
You may have thought that the worldÕs longest-serving lifeguard would be found patrolling a sun-splashed beach in California, Australia or South Africa.
But on a drizzly British spring day, Guinness World Records held a ceremony on the pier in Bournemouth to award the title to Chris Lewis, one of the town's Royal National Lifeboat Institution lifeguards.
Lewis, 74, began working at the Dorset resort when he was 16, meaning he has been coming to the aid of visitors and local swimmers for 58 years.

‘Respect the water’: RNLI lifeguard training in Cornwall. Ahead of a busy summer of domestic tourism in the UK, qualified lifeguards and trainees rehearse life-saving procedures
‘Respect the water’: RNLI lifeguard training in Cornwall. From a distance the ocean looks calm – safe, even – but a sticker peeling from a window in St Agnes lifeguard station offers a cautionary warning to all visitors: Respect the Water, it says. The summer ahead promises to be busier than ever in Cornwall, with a boom in domestic tourism fuelled by global coronavirus restrictions. This beautiful but unforgiving stretch of coastline will see its fair share of rescues. The RNLI is training new lifeguards in preparation. Today, a group of five are learning first aid skills and rehearsing water rescue techniques using tubes and rescue boards – they must wear PPE for close proximity drills, even in the water. The trainees range in age from 16 to 33 and include students, a gas engineer, a marine biologist and a former champion surfer.

‘Respect the water’: RNLI lifeguard training in Cornwall. From a distance the ocean looks calm – safe, even – but a sticker peeling from a window in St Agnes lifeguard station offers a cautionary warning to all visitors: Respect the Water, it says. The summer ahead promises to be busier than ever in Cornwall, with a boom in domestic tourism fuelled by global coronavirus restrictions. This beautiful but unforgiving stretch of coastline will see its fair share of rescues. The RNLI is training new lifeguards in preparation. Today, a group of five are learning first aid skills and rehearsing water rescue techniques using tubes and rescue boards – they must wear PPE for close proximity drills, even in the water. The trainees range in age from 16 to 33 and include students, a gas engineer, a marine biologist and a former champion surfer.

‘Respect the water’: RNLI lifeguard training in Cornwall. Ahead of a busy summer of domestic tourism in the UK, qualified lifeguards and trainees rehearse life-saving procedures
‘Respect the water’: RNLI lifeguard training in Cornwall. From a distance the ocean looks calm – safe, even – but a sticker peeling from a window in St Agnes lifeguard station offers a cautionary warning to all visitors: Respect the Water, it says. The summer ahead promises to be busier than ever in Cornwall, with a boom in domestic tourism fuelled by global coronavirus restrictions. This beautiful but unforgiving stretch of coastline will see its fair share of rescues. The RNLI is training new lifeguards in preparation. Today, a group of five are learning first aid skills and rehearsing water rescue techniques using tubes and rescue boards – they must wear PPE for close proximity drills, even in the water. The trainees range in age from 16 to 33 and include students, a gas engineer, a marine biologist and a former champion surfer.
Pictured is trainee lifeguard Eron Thornhill in the orange wetsuit. Trainee and re-qualifying lifeguards at St Agnes beach in north Cornwall. They're learning about beach safety, hazard prevention and rescue techniques. The course, which is run by the RNLI on behalf of Surf Life Saving GB, will prepare them for work as a lifeguard during a busy summer of domestic tourism.
