The Sea Isle City Beach Patrol will host the 2023 Junior Lifeguard Program each Tuesday and Thursday, July 20 through Aug. 8, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 44th Street and the beach.
The program is open to male and female participants ages 14 to 17.
Participants will be introduced to basic lifesaving skills and rescue techniques as an educational and physical training foundation for prospective beach patrol employees.
Beach patrol instructors will apply the principles of surf bashing, swimming, running, paddling and ocean rowing to techniques of water rescue and beach management appropriate to the participant’s age and developing skill levels.
Junior lifeguards developing through the program to the advanced level, who are 16 years or older, may be selected for employment with the beach patrol upon graduating the program in August.
Enrollment in the SICBP’s Junior Lifeguard Program is limited to the first 40 applicants. The cost is $25 per person.
