View fullsize

Peter Meehan, Staples Sophomore, keeps warm as he remains at his post watching the swim area of Compo Beach this afternoon. With strong wind gusts, driving rain, and cold temperatures - the Compo Beach lifeguards remained under several layers of clothing while watching their areas. To the surprise of staff, a hearty group of swimmers did go for a brisk dip earlier in the day. The lifeguards will remain on-duty daily through Labor Day.
