NARRAGANSETT, R.I. – The water is Elizabeth Beisel’s happy place. Now the three-time Olympic swimmer and two-time Olympic medalist is fulfilling a lifelong dream of becoming a lifeguard at Narragansett Town Beach.

Safety is Beisel’s top priority as she takes this new summer job with laser focus on the task at hand.

After Labor Day, she will continue to work on her charity, “Block Cancer,” as well as just re-signing with NBC Sports as a commentator for the summer Olympics in Paris in 2024.
