Junior Lifeguard Club

The Brock pool will be closed April 1st - August, 2013 for maintenance. First Aid/CPR - Courses will be offered over the Spring & Summer. Fall Swim Registration: Saturday, August 16th, 9am-12nn. 

It's an action-packed aquatic challenge for children who love the water and want more than traditional lessons. This program is ideal for quick learners, those caught in-between levels or programs, and youth who thrive in an energetic learning environment.

The Junior Lifeguard Club (JLC) has been designed to serve a serious purpose, but the process is pure fun! The club stresses skill development based on personal-best achievements.

Students will work to develop and improve swimming and aquatic skills with emphasis on swimming and lifesaving skills, personal fitness, community education, lifesaving knowledge, leadership and teamwork. Up to seven recognition seals and lifesaving awards can be earned!

Activities include: swimming, cooperative games, competitive games, canoeing, snorkelling, diving, shadow guarding, lifesaving skills, rescues, and first aid.

Prerequisite:
Children 8-15 who can swim a minimum of 25 metres and tread water for 2 minutes.

Personal-best challenges: The JLC focuses on fun and developing skills using personal-bests to determine achievement - you don't compete against anyone else but yourself. You can get better at your swimming skills, lifesaving skills, fitness, leadership, and teamwork skills. You can also train for competitions, and work on special events.

Lots of recognition: No one "fails" in the Jr. Lifeguard Club. Effort and success are recognized with Recognition Seals when you meet personal goals, and set personal-bests.

Friends & family members can join together even if they are of different ages and abilities. The Junior Lifeguard Club is designed for a serious purpose but the process is pure fun.

There is no "test sheet" in the Jr. Lifeguard Club. Every club member gets an Official Junior Lifeguard Club WaterLog in which to record achievements and keep Recognition and Award Seals.

You can earn 7 different kinds of Recognition Seals for:

• Community Education
• Leadership/Teamwork
• Lifesaving Knowledge
• Lifesaving Skills
• Swimming Skills
• Fitness
• Competition

The Junior Lifeguard Club's water-based activities may be supplemented with dry-land activities or community-education projects, displays and demonstrations.
