Junior Lifeguard Program
| Registration at 515 S. Atlantic Ave. for participants who do not have to attend the tryouts (children previously enrolled in the program) from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday - Friday. |
The Junior Lifeguard Program was started in the summer of 1990 as a springboard for education in water safety, lifesaving techniques and beach ecology.
Junior Lifeguards get plenty of fresh air and sunshine along with exercise and professional surf training. For those students interested in learning competition skills, a mini team will be created in each session.
Junior Lifeguards will participate in daily team relays involving surfboard paddling, swimming, running and beach flags.
Additionally, professional training in CPR and first aid will be provided.
So, unless you’re looking forward to another hot, dry summer...Come to the tryouts and register for a summer of fun! If further information is needed, contact us via email us at jrlifeguard@co.volusia.fl.us or call the Volusia County Beach Patrol 386-239-6414 ext. 270
