Junior Lifeguard
FEE: $146.00
Ages 10-14 Yrs
The Junior Lifeguard program is designed to teach future lifeguards
(ages 10 through 14) the skills and responsibilities required of a lifeguard.
Our goal is to provide participants with a fun training environment to eventually
become a beach and/or pool lifeguard.
Junior lifeguards should be proficient swimmers with a strong background.
Participants will be asked to swim, tread water, submerge and work as a team.
This program is not a lifeguard certifying course.
The program will teach water safety, beach safety, proper use of rescue
equipment, rescue and lifesaving techniques. We’ll also play fun games
on land and in the water that include running and swimming races. Activities
each week are adjusted based on the weather. Certified USA Swimming Coaches and American
Red Cross Lifeguards with both pool and beach experience will run the training.
Junior lifeguards will be organized on the first day after a swimming assessment. The
first day of camp also includes name introductions and a safety meeting. Campers
should arrive with their swimsuit on. Water shoes are highly recommended due to
the nature of the beach.
Junior Lifeguarding will be held on Saturdays from 9:00 - 10:15 AM at the
Smithtown Landing Pool for the first 3 Saturdays and at Otto Schubert Beach
on Long Beach Road, Nissequogue for the last Saturday.
