Junior Lifeguard Prep (About)

Splash was the Original Swim Team to Offer exclusively a Junior Lifeguard Prep program separate from Swim Team. This was done to better serve those swimmers that were specifically wanting to prepare for one of the local Junior Lifeguard Summer programs tests.  Our program design is intended to pass the local tests and deliver those participants in shape for the JG summer programs.

During or program we emphasize proper stroke techniques in the Freestyle stroke also known as the front crawl. 

Most of the practices in the beginning are designed to perfect proper arm pulls and recovery.  Along with a proper flutter kick.

In addition to our technique work we work on Turns, Underwater swimming, and treading water.

The final part is conditioning.  Most participants are not used to swimming (100 yards) 4 laps consecutively in our 25yd pool.  Conditioning becomes more of an emphasis as the program develops.

Sessions A,B: For anyone wanting an early start to preparation whether they just need more time to develop and pass test or they just want to be better prepared for the Summer programs.

Sessions 1,2: This is our typical Junior Lifeguard program and generally takes those interested in the City program through the end of their test dates.

​

Sessions 3,4: will take those preparing for the State JG programs through their testing.

Our program is not only designed to prepare our participants to pass the local JG tests, but also to deliver them in better shape to participate in the JG program of their Choice.

Splash Aquatics is not affiliated with any of the JG programs, but we have deep ties to both. We trained numerous athletes that have gone through these programs, but many that have gone on to become Lifeguards, Instructors, as well as marine safety officers, and local Fire fighters, and leaders in those organizations.
