The American Red Cross Guard Start Lifeguarding Tomorrow program gives your child a jump start into Red Cross lifeguarding.  This program will help your child, age 11-14, build a foundation of knowledge, attitudes and skills to become a future lifeguard.  Your child will receive instruction in prevention, fitness, response, leadership, professionalism and swimming skill development.  Your child may have the opportunity to earn incentive items like goggles, T-shirt, swimsuit and up to $50.00 through a structured program designed to encourage timeliness, trying hard and appropriate behavior.  This is a great 6 week program, from June 16 through July 24, at 26 of CRC’s pools.   To be eligible, a child must be able to swim across the width of the pool.  They must also be able to stand, put their face in the water and blow bubbles.

To register, a child can sign up at one of the pools below on Wednesday, June 11 at 12:00 noon.  Additional registration is available during pool hours the remainder of the week.  Parents aren’t required at registration, but must complete the registration form by June 26 for their child to remain eligible.  Ten to fifteen students per site are selected on a first come, first serve basis.
