Want to start your life guarding experience early? Join our Jr. Lifeguard program and become part of our team! We recommend ages 8-14. This program is focused on teaching participants the key aspects to preventing injuries and ensuring safety in and around the water. This course will guide participants through activities to learn skills that could prepare them for a full Life guarding Course. Participants are welcomed and encouraged to shadow our awesome Cove lifeguards in their daily job duties. Shadow shift sign-up times will be available for pick-up.
