Interested in becoming a lifeguard? Pima County offers an in depth Jr. Lifeguard program designed to prepare kids between the ages of 11-15 to become future lifeguards.
Registration is now closed. Registration for Summer 2020 will begin in March, 2020.
Convenience fees apply for online registration.
How to register online
The Jr. Lifeguard program does not certify participants in first aid, CPR or AED or as a lifeguard but will introduce the participants to:
- The skills needed to take a Lifeguarding course
- Communication and decision making skills
- The basic responsibilities of a lifeguard
- The basic knowledge and skills required to be a lifeguard
- The skills necessary to assist with swim lesson instruction
There will also be opportunities for the students to work along side lifeguards and swim instructors, assisting with swim lessons or helping out at a Pima County swim meet. To ensure each student gets the most out of the program, each of the NRPR pools offering the program will be limiting participation to just 10 students per session.
