Junior Lifeguard

Description

American Red Cross Junior Lifeguarding is designed to guide youth to the American Red Cross Lifeguarding course by building a foundation of knowledge, attitudes and skills for future lifeguards. Participants are not required to master or perfectly execute skills. They should learn techniques and build stamina during this program. Junior Lifeguard Camps offer young people the opportunity to gain valuable lifesaving and aquatic skills. Junior Lifeguards (JGs) are between the ages of 11-14.The students are also taught basic water rescue skills such as how to react in an emergency, throw a rope to help a distressed swimmer, and perform rescue tube and boogie board rescues. Throughout the session, drills and activities are regularly rotated to help the JGs practice their skills and continually improve. Junior Lifeguard Camps are an important part of a child's life and are a great way to teach kid’s important swimming and water safety skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.
