Junior lifeguard program sells out in three minutes

If you were planning on registering your child with the Seal Beach Junior Lifeguard program, you’re too late.

On Monday, June 16, the Seal Beach Marine Safety Department sold out 300 Junior Lifeguard Program positions in just three minutes online. Monday was the first day, and apparently the last day, to register with the summer program.

For over 25 years the Seal Beach Marine Safety Department has been offering a Junior Lifeguard program. The Junior Lifeguard Program is a fun, but physically demanding, hands-on program that provides the participants with knowledge and respect for the ocean and its surrounding environment.

It is designed to emphasize the importance of safety, respect, and camaraderie while covering the following topics: Ocean Proofing, Physical Development, Lifeguard Skills, First Aid, and Competition.

The program typically begins the last week of June and ends the second week in August, making the program seven weeks long.
