Junior Lifeguard Club
Kids learn attitudes and skills that could one day save a life – their life, or someone else’s. The Junior Lifeguard Club (JLC) is designed to let kids participate in activities similar to those of real lifeguards – in a safe, fun and controlled setting. But just as important, kids experience teamwork and a sense of belonging. They become part of a club, the Junior Lifeguard Club. The Junior Lifeguard Club is a place for kids to:
- Learn about lifesaving and lifeguarding
- Enjoy friendly competition and special events
- Challenge themselves to aim for personal bests
- Hang out
- Get fit
- Make friends
- Have a great time!
The Junior Lifeguard Club is a unique program, designed as a ‘coaching’ environment of long-term goals and short-term ‘personal best’ achievements.
