Session 4 -Shiver Me Timbers!
We're stepping back in time a bit for this one, to when the pirates ruled the 7 seas. This week, it's our Junior Lifeguard pirates that will rule our lakes and lagoons. It will be up to you and your merry band of pirates to make sure that anyone that wants to take your treasure will face your wrath. Optional certification in CPR/AED.
Prerequisites
Participants must pass a 25-yard swim test on the first day of each session. Parents must be present for this swim test. Successful completion of the swim test is mandatory for program participation. Instructors will evaluate swimmers based on their swimming competence and confidence. If a parent has any doubts regarding their child's ability to pass the swim test, a pre-test is highly recommended. Please refer to pre-test procedures included in the registration materials for more detailed information.
Uniform Requirements
As part of the program, junior lifeguards will be provided with a JG t-shirt and rash guard to be worn during the program. Either the shirt or rash guard must always be worn. The junior guards will be responsible for providing and wearing their own swim trunks.
Certification
Junior lifeguards can earn an American Red Cross certificate in First Aid or CPR/AED. Odd numbered sessions (1, 3, 5 and 7) will certify in First Aid. Even numbered sessions (2, 4, and 6) will certify in CPR/AED. This is optional. If interested, parents must pay for the certification at the time of registration. Participants cannot purchase Red Cross certification on site. At the end of the session, those who opt for the certificate will receive a temporary certification. Official certifications from the Red Cross will be processed and mailed at the end of the summer.
