Exchange Lifeguards known in the United States as Wet and Wild Summer!, is a 1992 Australian-American comedy film[3] directed by Maurice Murphy and starring Christopher Atkins, Julian McMahon and Elliott Gould.

[4] A property developer wants to take over an Australian beach for a high rise resort.

He sends his son to Australia to check out the situation, posing as an exchange lifeguard.

He falls in love with a woman who owns the land his father needs for the development and finds himself sympathising with the locals.

Avalon says that sales agent Dick Bateman suggested he write and produce a film set around the beach and lifeguards, with humour and a romance.
