Program Information

The purpose of the St. Johns County Junior Lifeguard Program is to increase self-confidence and promote safe behavior in the aquatic environment. Throughout the course students will acquire a wide range of skills including first-aid, CPR and rescue techniques. Throughout the program, safety is our primary consideration. During the program, each student will be challenged to have fun, become more confident in the water, and learn respect for themselves and each other. Check out our Photo Gallery.
