Junior Lifeguards
The
Santa Cruz
County
Park's
Junior Lifeguard program introduces youth to the fun and rewarding job
of protecting and saving lives at the pool.
Each three-week session consists of a variety of activities, including
swimming, lifeguard skills, running, calisthenics, team-building games,
special guests, and many special activity days. Activity days include an
adventure trip to Golfland, introduction to kayaking at the pool, a
beach day, and much more! Leaders also introduce the junior guards to Emergency Response
careers such as Firefighting, Lifeguarding or being an Emergency Medical
Technician (EMT) and organize a junior lifeguard competition at the end
of each session.
Participants will be divided into two groups, based on age and ability
level. If you are not certain that your child can meet the swim
prerequisite, please call Rebecca Hurley at 454-7930 to arrange a swim
test before you register.
