In this roundtable episode of Navigating Neva, we sit down with Canadian lifeguard legend Scott Ruddle—who’s still rocking the deck after nearly four decades. Nicole and Wes dig into Scott’s journey, the culture of guarding in Canada, crossover lessons from his work as a paramedic, and why lifeguarding is more than just a summer job. It’s raw, reflective, and packed with wisdom for the next gen of water watchers.
🎧 Legacy, leadership, freshwater surf, and lifting up the profession—don’t miss this one.
