The Junior Lifeguard Program is offered as a way to introduce youth to the career of a Lifeguard. This introductory program for ages 12-17 prepares participants for lifeguard duties - pool surveillance, CPR, First Aid, facility maintenance, and assisting with programs such as swim lessons, swim meets. Junior Lifeguards will also participate in rule enforcement, CPR and First Aid demonstrations, various rescue scenarios, and strenuous physical training.
