The artistic project covers a total of fifteen lifeguard stations (called postos)between Arpoador and Recreio, and is linked to the GaleRio initiative, in which 40 kilometers of subway are being transformed into the largest urban art gallery in the world.

The lifeguard stations depict sinuous waves, the faces and basking bodies of beachgoers, coconuts, sarongs, and everything else quintessential to the carioca coast.

In the graffiti on each lifeguard tower there are also allusions to life in the neighborhood, such as sports being played or other local landmarks.
