Professor and lifeguard Arthur Verge is equal parts storyteller and encyclopedia when it comes to the history of lifeguarding. Like much of the history of Venice, the stories about lifeguarding are intermingled with fact and fiction, which Verge indulges. Though he jokes, his service to lifeguarding is quite serious and often entails engaging in life threatening situations that require a great deal of experience, and athleticism.
