JUNIOR LIFEGUARDING CAMP Cost: $150 resident / $187.50 non-resident Age: 11 - 14 years Location: RCN The American Red Cross Junior Lifeguarding Program is designed to guide adolescents, ages 11–14, through the Red Cross Lifeguarding course by building a foundation of knowledge, attitudes and skills of future lifeguards. It serves to bridge the gap between the “Learn-to-Swim” and “Lifeguarding” programs, and includes the following topics: the development of swimming skills and endurance, victim recognition, First Aid/CPR/ AED and water rescue skills. Participants are not required to perfectly execute skills. However, please be advised; this is an introductory camp and its intent is not to train students for the actual lifeguard certification. Participants will, however, receive a Junior Lifeguard Camp certificate of completion on the last day. Guard pack, lanyard with whistle and t-shirt are included with registration. Prerequisites for the course: • Swim the front crawl 25 yards continuously while breathing on the front or side. • Swim the breaststroke for 25 yards using a pull, breathe, kick and glide sequence. • Tread water for 1 minute. • Show a level of comfort on the back by floating on the back for 30 seconds or swimming on the back for 25 yards using the elementary backstroke or back crawl. • Submerge and swim a distance of 10 feet under water.
SWIM TEST Cost: $10 Age: 4 years and up Location: RCN
