Welcome

Purpose: Junior Lifeguards is a program geared to youth ages 12-15. The intent is to expose and prepare them for becoming a Lifeguard. Over the years this program, like similar programs, has evolved to provide experiences and training that help the youth become leaders in their community and safety advocates in a variety of water environments. In 2018, this is our mission.

Objective: What will you get out of the class? Participants will learn Basic Frist Aid and CPR skills. They will be provided an introduction to the lifeguarding profession and skills needed to eventually become a lifeguard and save lives. We will also be inviting guest speakers from the community to discuss community safety. With this component, we also want to provide participants with exposure to potential career options. Being a Lifeguard can be a lifetime rewarding career in itself. It can also open doors to other potential careers and we want to share that with our youth.
