New for Fall 2021 -- UCSB Jr Lifeguards After School Program --
Join UCSB Jr Lifeguards Director Ryan Collins for this new afternoon program.
We are pleased to announce our Jr Guard program will continue with afterschool hours throughout the fall. If your child enjoyed Jr Guards in the summer, they are going to love the afterschool program at UCSB Campus Pt. Two hours a day, Monday - Friday with your choice of once or twice per week. Let your child experience the camaraderie, ocean sports, marine & safety education and active fun of our Summer Jr. Guard program but in a condensed 2 hr/day format. Uniforms are available but optional and wetsuits are highly recommended.
Program topics include oceanography, first aid, CPR, water rescue techniques, mutual cooperation, competition techniques, and lifesaving methods.
Our Instructors are a mix of local teachers and college students with many years of lifeguarding experience and Jr Lifeguard program participation. Program staff provide a fun and safe aquatic education to UCSB JG participants.
