    The Junior Lifeguard Club

    The Junior Lifeguard Club (JLC) offers serious fun for kids 8 years and up who can swim at least 25m and tread water for 2 minutes. The Jr. Lifeguard Club provides an action-packed challenge for kids who love the water but who want more than "lessons." The Jr. Lifeguard Club is for quick learners, those between levels or programs who thrive in an energetic learning environment.

    Personal-best challenges: The JLC focuses on fun and developing skills using personal-bests to determine achievement - you don’t compete against anyone else but yourself. You can get better at your swimming skills, lifesaving skills, fitness, leadership, and teamwork skills. You can also train for competitions, and work on special events.

    Lots of recognition: No one "fails" in the Jr. Lifeguard Club. Effort and success are recognized with Recognition Seals when you meet personal goals, and set personal- bests.

    Friends & family members can join together even if they are of different ages and abilities. The Junior Lifeguard Club is designed for a serious purpose but the process is pure fun.

    There is no "test sheet" in the Jr. Lifeguard Club. Every club member gets an Official Junior Lifeguard Club WaterLog in which to record achievements and keep Recognition and Award Seals.

    You can earn 7 different kinds of Recognition Seals for

    • Community Education 
    • Leadership/Teamwork 
    • Lifesaving Knowledge 
    • Lifesaving Skills 
    • Swimming Skills 
    • Fitness 
    • Competition 
    You can also earn Lifesaving Awards without leaving the Club:
    • Canadian Swim Patrol Awards - Rookie Patrol, Ranger Patrol, Star Patrol
    • Lifesaving Fitness - Bronze, Silver, or Gold levels.
