Hours After Becoming A Lifeguard, She Saved A Life

Jennifer Mahin, 17, heard some telling words at her graduation from the California State lifeguard academy in Carlsbad Friday.

“You might save a life today,” she remembers an instructor saying.

At about 8:30 that night a group her friends and family walked on Oceanside’s north jetty near the harbor and saw some frantic teenagers asking them to call 911.
