Junior Lifeguard
Program
Do you want to learn what it takes
to become a lifeguard? Here at
Morningside Pool, we strive to provide
a positive learning experience. The
focus of each activity or skill that the
junior lifeguard learns begins with
staying safe. The program can also
improve their understanding and
respect for the environment, as well
as respect for themselves, parents and
peers. The Junior Lifeguard Program
is designed for youth ages 10-15 and
focuses on pool safety while providing
a program of physical fitness, first aid,
CPR and other aquatic-oriented sports
and activities.
