Are you not old enough to be a paid lifeguard?  This volunteer program allows teens the opportunity to be a trained in the basics of lifeguard safety. Volunteers will assist staff with aquatic operations and acquire skills and experience that are helpful should they become employed at an aquatic facility in the future.

Upon completion students will have certifications in Community CPR, Community First Aid, and Basic Water Rescue.
