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.
