Junior Lifeguard Class Preps Future Lifeguards

If you love the pool and want to be a lifeguard when you're older, but you're still in that 11-14 age window before you're able to get certified, try out our new Junior Lifeguard class! The class will meet 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, Sept. 9-Oct. 14, teaching the ins and outs of lifeguarding and the water competency sequence.
