Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Try-Outs
Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Try-Outs
Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard try-outs begin this weekend on February 7, 2010 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.
The Newport Beach Junior Lifeguards try outs will be conducted on at Newport Harbor High School, Newport Beach, California.
If you have a child who is going to try out for the Newport Beach Junior Lifeguards, then hopefully they have been conditioning for the test. There are several pools to practice at, and the pools are heated in preparation for the Junior Lifeguard try-outs. The children can practice at Newport Shores Community pool in Newport Beach, Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach, Newport Harbor High Pool in Newport Beach or the pool at Corona del Mar High School.. There are several dates throughout the month of February, they are located at the Newport Harbor High School Pool in Newport Beach, California, and these dates can be found below.
For the swim try outs, a child must be 9 years old by June 28, 2010 (per the Newport Beach Lifeguards). And you must bring valid identification (for example a birth certificate or passport). Also, you must provide valid proof of Newport Beach residency (for example – car registration, driver’s license, utility bill, or car registration). You need to provide three different items for proof of residency.
Each group is categorized A, B, C, D by their age. The swim consists of two complete laps (four lengths in a pool) and they must be completed in the following times. The following are the required swim times for each age group:
”A” (14-15 year olds): 1:35 (one minute, 35 seconds)
“B” (12-13 year olds): 1:40 (one minute, 40 seconds)
“C” (10-11 year olds): 1:45 (one minute, 45 seconds)
“D” ( 9 year olds): 1:55 (one minute, 55 seconds)
There are conditioning programs as well. For more information, please feel free to contact me directly. This is a fantastic opportunity for children to learn ocean and beach safety, and summer will come very quickly here in Newport Beach. Just so you know, Huntington Beach has both State and City Junior Lifeguard programs, and I will be posting about those try-outs as well.
Lastly, there is limited enrollment of 1250 Junior Lifeguards, and registration is on a first come, first serve basis.
The times for the swim test are below, and are held at the Newport Harbor High School Pool (rain or shine)!!
Sunday, February 7th – 9:00am – 12:00pm
Sunday, February 14th – 9:00am – 12:00pm
Tuesday, February 16th – 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Sunday, February 21st – 9:00am – 12:00pm
Tuesday, February 23rd – 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Sunday, February 28th – 9:00am – 12:00pm
Both of my daughters participated in this program, and I cannot give it enough accolades. The children get in great physical shape, and at the same time learn about ocean and beach safety, and make great friends a long the way. My older daughter Heather is now a Huntington State Beach Lifeguard, and has had some wonderful experiences as a result of this program and competes in national Lifeguard events.
If I can answer any questions about the Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard program, please contact me.
