Vancouver Lifeguard Association

Junior Lifeguard Club is a new adventure for your child. Participants aged 8-15 will be taught important skills for future lifeguards, including first aid, lifesaving decision making, leadership, as well as improving their fitness and endurance. This is a great way to prepare to take Bronze Medallion and Cross or if your child is looking for a new adventure in the pool!

Participants will receive a wall poster on which they can put achievement stickers to mark their progress through first aid, lifesaving and fitness skills. This will earn them their Canadian Swim Patrol levels (Rookie patrol, Ranger patrol aka Swimmer 7/8) along the way and more!
