The Junior Lifeguard Program is not a
"learn to swim" school. Therefore, prospective
students should have the minimum skills needed to
benefit from the Junior Lifeguard Program.
In order to participate on the
Junior Lifeguard Competition Camp, applicants must pass
a basic deep water skills screening test in a swimming
pool. These skills include (1) swimming 100 yard
in deep water in less than 2 minutes 30 seconds, (2)
treading in deep water for two minutes, and (3)
retrieving a submerged object from a depth of 5 feet.
Skills testing is scheduled on Saturday morning from
10:00 to 11:00 at the Frieda Zamba Swimming Pool during
the months of April, May, June, July and August.
If a child is unable to physically
complete all phases of testing for the Competition Camp,
he or she may still participate in the Beach Camp
program, and will be limited in certain ocean swimming
activities.
This is done for the safety of the
child, as well as the success of the program.
$20.00 per student/per session. |
