This program takes the time to teach students the knowledge of rescue techniques, pool procedures, CPR, and First Aid. The skills learned in the Junior Lifeguard Program will stick with students and help them down the line in not just lifeguarding, but real-life scenarios. We strive to develop leadership skills in our junior lifeguards, which is why they receive hands-on experience shadowing a real lifeguard. It is our hope that students transition into lifeguards when they turn 15 years old and practice these skills even more. At the end of the program, the junior lifeguards get to participate in the Illinois Park and Recreation Association Lifeguard games.
