‘I’m here to save you’: Sibling junior lifeguards rescue 3 teens from surf off H.B. State Beach

.“Don’t panic. I’m a junior lifeguard and I’m here to save you.”

That’s what Lucy Granger, 12, told a teenage girl as she and her brother, Cameron, 14, were rescuing that girl and two others who had been pulled out into the ocean by a rip current on Oct. 17 at Huntington State Beach.

“I guess I was trying to reassure them and, I don’t know, it just came out,” Lucy said.

After a long day in which Cameron was in a swim meet and Lucy was in San Diego competing in a soccer tournament, the two wanted to do something relaxing. So they went bodysurfing that Saturday evening near lifeguard Tower 11, close to Newland Street and Pacific Coast Highway. However, as they were leaving the water at about 6:30 p.m., they heard screaming coming from about 50 yards up the coast and they started walking toward the sound.
