In the RTÉ series, eight Irish teens, reportedly selected from several thousand appliants,[8] head for Fort Lauderdale in the United States to train as lifeguards.[9] Over the course of 3 weeks they join a group of other teens who are training at the Fort Lauderdale Junior Lifeguard Programme.[10]

A second series was commissioned by RTÉ[11] and was scheduled to film, with 8 new participants, in Fort Lauderdale during mid-2011.[12] Series two was broadcast on RTÉ 2 later in 2011.
