The episode takes us through a number of incidents and challenges that the lifeguards are faced with as they try to keep the beach safe.
The main storyline of the episode revolves around a group of young women who are being groomed for a modeling career. One of these young women, a talented swimmer named Tiffany, is discovered by Caroline Holden, one of the beach lifeguards, who offers to train her for a major swimming competition. However, Tiffany's manager is not keen on the idea and refuses to let her take part in the competition. Caroline is undeterred, however, and decides to take matters into her own hands.
