Carpinteria Junior Lifeguards is a summer institution. Junior Guards, ages 9-17, learn many aspects of lifeguarding as they engage in a variety of aquatic and beach activities. Skills learned include an introduction to CPR, first aid, beach and wave dynamics and ocean science. The program emphasizes physical fitness and the value of spirited, friendly competition in running, paddle board and swimming races.
Safety is important so participants must be able to pass a basic pool and ocean swim test. In the ocean the participant must be able to swim approximately 100 yards with no time limit. The pool swim is also 100 yards, but it must be completed in 00:02:20 minutes. These tests are only for the purpose of measuring ability as it pertains to each child’s safety in the water.
