The Pensacola Beach Junior Lifeguard program is an excellent way for young teenagers to learn what it takes to be a "Guardian of the Gulf." Our program offers an alternative summer camp that promotes physical fitness, training in beach safety and education on the historical, ecological and economic significance of Pensacola Beach. Through several different types of training, the program simulates the training of the Pensacola Beach Lifeguards. Every Junior Lifeguard will become familiar with medical equipment, learn all about our beaches and perform mock rescues. There isn't a better way to learn how to educate and protect the public at Pensacola Beach than to be a Junior Lifeguard!
Age requirement is 13-15 years old.
