Course Description:

• Dive into a summer adventure with the Junior Lifeguarding camp at Summit Middle School Pool! This program is designed for future lifeguards eager to learn essential water safety and lifesaving skills. Participants will engage in a variety of fun and challenging activities that will not only boost their confidence in the water but also prepare them for future lifeguarding certification classes when they turn 15. Throughout the camp, junior lifeguards will master basic rescue techniques, improve their swimming abilities, and gain a deeper understanding of water safety protocols. While they won't receive a lifeguarding certification at the end of the camp, they will leave with invaluable skills and knowledge that will set them up for success in future. In order to participate fully in the class, students should be prepared to swim a water competency sequence of swimming and treading plus a 25yd front crawl and a 25yd breaststroke. 

Logistics:

• Enter Summit Pool through door #20. Bring light snacks, two towels, water bottle, sack lunch, flip flops, and two swim suits. Students should also have warm clothing to put on during the class as needed. Students will not receive a lifeguard certificate as a result of this class.
