A 19-year-old lifeguard saved five
people on her first day on the job at Sabaudia south of Rome
last Friday, Roman daily Il Messaggero reported Monday.
Noemi Marangoni, from Pontinia, saved an elderly man, three
others who had tried to pull him out, and another man from
swirling currents at the Bufalara beach near Latina.
She did so even without her regulation 'Baywatch' equipment,
which was yet to arrive at the beach.
The swimmers braved the strong currents in order to get away
from sweltering temperatures on the beach.
