Junior Guard Prep (Ages 12-14)
The Junior Guard program is an opportunity for children 12-14 to learn the 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 receive instruction in a number of lifeguarding skills including water safety, public relations, facility operations, first aid and introduction to CPR in addition to practicing basic surface level rescues. *This class will not offer CPR certification.
Lifeguard Prep (14 years and 11 months or older)
Lifeguard Prep is a 1-day training program to develop the swim skills necessary to successfully pass the lifeguard water screening, which is required to apply to work as a lifeguard. To participate, you must be at least 14 years and 11 months and able to swim across the entire pool without stopping. We will work with you to improve your lap-swim efficiency, treading, and the feet-first surface dive that is tested in the water screening. To provide the best training experience, class sizes are limited. This class will be offered throughout the summer lifeguard hiring season and can be repeated as necessary.
