Junior Lifeguards

Junior Lifeguards is designed to help participants learn about what it takes to be a lifeguard. Participants learn about the equipment lifeguards use, the swimming skills needed, and how lifeguards preform saves. After the program is complete, junior guards will be invited to shadow a guard for a shift sometime during the remainder of the summer.
*Note: Junior Lifeguard is not a "learn to swim" program. Participants should have swimming skills prior to the start of the program. Completion of this program does NOT make the participant a certified lifeguard.
