Junior Lifeguard Program

The Junior Lifeguard Program offers a unique aquatic alternative for those who love the water, who want to be challenged and who want more than just lessons. The Junior Lifeguard Program provides opportunities for children to keep interested and active in aquatics, especially quick learners and those caught between levels and programs. It's a fantastic opportunity to further develop swimming skills at the same time as developing new and challenging lifesaving skills.
