Jr. Lifeguards
This volunteer program allows youth/teens the opportunity to be a trained in the basics of lifeguarding and first aid. Volunteers will assist staff with aquatic operations and acquire skills and experience that are helpful should they become employed at an aquatic facility in the future.
This American Red Cross Program is available to youth ages 11 - 15 years old who have the desire to learn about the responsibilities and duties of a lifeguard. This class is designed to teach students basic rescue skills, first aid, CPR, and water safety.
This program does require a time commitment throughout the summer which generally consists of one meeting a week (typically Thursday afternoons) as well as assisting with two swim lesson sessions per week (usually totaling approximately 5 hours). Junior Lifeguards are an important part of our Learn to Swim program which is why it is imperative that they are a committed part of our Aquatics Team.
See Jr. Lifeguard Manual for additional information.
At the Swim Test, all participants will be given a class schedule and volunteer availability form. Junior Lifeguards will be scheduled weekly to volunteer at any of our 3 locations based upon their availability.
Tentative training schedule is as follows:
