Jr. Lifeguard Training Camp

Description

Are you interested in lifeguarding but not quite old enough? Safety and Aquatic Solutions is offering a Junior Lifeguarding course that is designed for students ages 11-14 and is a key component of the Lifeguarding programs. Participants will build a foundation of knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to meet the Lifeguard certification course requirements. This course introduces participants to lifesaving skills, such as in-water rescues, proper use of a rescue tube, as well as teaching them first aid, CPR and how to use an AED. In addition, this course creates a lifeguarding feeder program to help aquatics supervisors recruit the most promising Lifeguarding candidates for future employment.

Along with introducing participants to what the real lifeguard certification course is like, it also gives them the opportunity to shadow lifeguards in rotation to get a real sense of being on the job.
