Junior Guard Prep
The Junior Guard program is an opportunity for children 12-15 to learn skills, techniques and practices of actual lifeguards. Through games and drills, we will demonstrate many of the whys and hows of lifeguarding while preparing them to pass the water-screening test required for all lifeguards. Participants will get to practice basic pool rescues in addition to instruction in a number of lifeguarding related skills including water safety, public relations, facility operations, teamwork, leadership, first aid and introductory CPR. This class will not offer CPR certification.
Lifeguard Prep
Lifeguard Prep is a 3-week training program to develop the swim skills necessary to successfully qualify to work as a lifeguard. To participate, you must be 15 y/o by May 24, 2024, and able to swim 100 yards (down the pool and back twice) without stopping. We will work with you to improve your swim efficiency, teach a variety of useful kicks, rescue techniques as well as how to navigate deep water entry and the feet-first surface dive. To provide the best training experience, class size is limited. This class will be offered throughout the summer lifeguard hiring season.
