About This Activity
Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Sunday, August 6, 2023.
Junior Lifeguard AcademyThis Cigna Healthcare-sponsored is a free program that teaches more than lifeguarding techniques, first aid and CPR/AED training. The five-week program also teaches, leadership, responsibility, and teamwork to youths 14 to 17 years old. At the end of the program, participants will demonstrate what they have learned at the All-City Skills Showcase on Saturday, July 22.
Beginning June 20, participants will meet three times a week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) with their instructors to learn how to do CPR, make water rescues, and how to work as a team. If your youth is 15 years old by August 6, they can enroll in a separate lifeguard training class to be ready to lifeguard next summer.
This separate StarGuard lifeguard certification class will be availabile for those participants who are 15 years old by August 6, 2023. This is a free component and will be held at Encanto Pool over two weekends, July 29-30, and Aug. 5-6. This class includes an 8-hour online training program and certifies the participant in CPR, Basic First Aid, and StarGuard Elite. If participants are unable to complete the separate training, or they turn 15 after August 6, they can sign up for classes later in the year. Classes taken after August 6, do require a class fee be paid.
Please note: There will be no class on Tuesday, July 4th.
