Vancouver Lifeguard Association

*** Beginners ***

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!

This is a new level, giving opportunity to students to get extra practice on their swimming skills, while still having some lifesaving fun! Egg-beater, whip kick and scissor kick are our lifesaving kicks and important to skills throughout future courses. Front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke will also be fine tuned in this level.

Prerequisites: For ages 8+, must be able to swim full length of pool (25 meters) of front crawl.

• Beginner: first time in JLC, can swim 1 length (25m) by themselves, still needs some stroke development
• Intermediate: Completed Swimmer 6 or previous experience in JLC, Rookie patrol or Ranger Patrol
• Advanced: Completed Ranger Patrol or higher (e.g. Star Patrol, Bronze Star and up). Reviews lifesaving skills, continues to develop swimming fitness and fun.
