Summer is right around the corner and so is the Seal Beach Junior Lifeguard Program!
Summer registration for the Seal Beach Junior Lifeguard program opens in May, and hopeful participants need to pass a swim test before registering. There are swim tests scheduled for 7-8 p.m., Friday, April 26, and Friday, May 3 from at McGaugh.
The program is set to run for seven weeks from June 17-Aug. 2 and meets Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to noon on the beach in Seal Beach.
Seal Beach Junior Lifeguards is one of the largest recreation programs in Seal Beach and has a long history of developing a love for the ocean among kids aged 9-17 in Seal Beach and surrounding communities.
The summer program is taught entirely by Seal Beach Lifeguards and promotes ocean safety through fun activities like surfing, boogie-boarding, ocean swimming, paddleboarding, and beach games. Junior Guards also learn lifeguarding skills, basic first aid techniques, and are introduced to Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
“Seal Beach Junior Guards is one of the best programs out there to introduce kids to the ocean in a safe and fun way,” said Matthew Corb, of the Seal Beach Junior Lifeguard Program. “It’s become a summer tradition in Seal Beach, and we are always looking to bring new kids in and share our love for the ocean.”
