Crystal Cove Junior Lifeguards
2025 Summer & Spring Programs
The Mission of the Crystal Cove Junior Lifeguard Program is to provide youth ages 7 - 17 with ocean safety education, while creating opportunities for high quality outdoor recreation. Our core values are aquatic safety, excellence, outdoor recreation, teamwork, and respect.
Summer Junior Lifeguard Program
The Crystal Cove Junior Lifeguard Program runs Monday - Thursday for three weeks, with a total of three consecutive sessions offered each summer (Mid June - Mid August). The Junior Lifeguard Program is designed to introduce youth to safe beach recreation, improve their physical conditioning, and develop their understanding and respect for out coastal environment.
All New Participants MUST complete the tryout swim.
