JUNIOR LIFEGUARD CLUB
Couldn't get into City swim lessons? Waiting to take Bronze Medallion? Looking for a new challenge?
Then join the Vancouver Junior Lifeguard Club, at St. George's Kerr Pool Sunday afternoons!
This club will prepare children for the next step in their aquatic adventures. Swimmers will develop water safety, fitness, lifesaving skills, knowledge, and practice in first aid in a fun and safe environment. The club will equip kids ages 8-15yrs with the skills they need to be better swimmers and successful lifeguards in the future. In addition, participants will work through the Lifesaving Society Canadian Swim Patrol (aka Rookie patrol, Ranger patrol, Star patrol or Swimmer 7/8/9) program. Participants will receive Canadian Swim Patrol stickers and a poster to mark their progress.
