Sometimes...
You have to save the lives of others,
To discover your own.
Expectations are never easy to live up to. As a young man in Nassau County's lifeguard corps, the protagonist in Water Rites is tapped for his pool swimming prowess to become part of the County's elite ocean guard crew. To everyone's surprise, though, he fails the obligatory swim test but ends up on the ocean anyway because of one man's belief in him.
Water Rites is the story of how we can rise to the expectations set for us and grow because of the struggle. As a coming-of-age story with unique circumstances, Water Rites intertwines Long Island history, surfing, the evolution of modern lifeguarding techniques and the development of a father and son's relationship in a story that will make you want to head for the nearest shore.
