Iron Guard
Iron Guard is a competition between Folsom Lake Junior Lifeguards to test their physical abilities and skills they've acquired through the program. Traditionally, it includes a physical component and skills assessment.
Participants are ranked by physical event placement and scores on skills assessment to rank them among peers of their age.
The physical event is welcome to be spectated by parents as it is a great opportunity to see all that your child has accomplished this session.
We do not allow specators for skills assessments as this is an on-going process for 1-2 days.
More information on date/time of the Iron Guard will become available in our weekly email updates.
