"County Recurrent" Intel:
Through the Lifeguard Grapevine we have also learned that LACo Baywatch Captain Phil Navarro is a past president of this auspicious masters team. That in itself, speaks volumes..... granted, volumes !... as in volumes of water paddled, swam, surfed, sailed, cruised, skied, bodysurfed, etc. Additionally, a very very very high source up in Admin. tells us that some years ago, "back in the day", that Section Chief Garth Canning played on this same masters team. We also understand that there are other Recurrents, past and present, as well as OLS Personnel, both past and present who have played on this team. In other words, this masters team is to water polo what the South Bay Surf Club is to Fish Tacos. Count me in..... for the party and the auction !
Here is a partial list of more polo playing lifeguards:
Lauren Briskin
Katy Lawlor
Paloma Slesak
Tandis Morgan
Riley Brady
Sean Hastings
Kyle Daniels
Pat Jacobson
Greg Crum
Anthony Vela
Juan Carlos
Thanks again for your support!

*** Costa Masters Swim Team background info, courtesy of Phil Navarro ***
Per Phil,
"The Costa Masters Water Polo team was started and created by me (Phil Navarro) January 2000. I ran the club for 8 ½ years before handing over the reigns to a Ryan Gray and Steve Granick. There are several lifeguards that play for the program including about 6 or 7 women. The team plays many tournaments and has been able to send 2 to 3 age group teams as well as a women’s team at times.
Due to the shortfalls in the economy, the school is now asking for a larger sum of money for the use of the pool. I was able to keep the daily/weekly/monthly dues down to a minimum to help keep the numbers and participation up. I believe the Costa players are trying to defer the cost with fundraisers to keep the dues down.
During the early years, I went through many nights of 5 on 5 or not enough to even play, and everyone would go home after waiting around for 45 minutes. I would hate to see them lose players if they have to raise the dues too high. Anything you can do to help the program would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil Navarro

Many Thanks to Phil Navarro for taking the time to set forth the history of this Masters Water Polo Club Team, and esp. the recitation of the famous and infamous LACo beach lifeguards that have participated and played with this team !
