ACC Junior Lifeguard Tryouts, June 20

PREREQUISITES

● Must be 11-14 years of age by the first session date.

● The Junior Lifeguard Program is NOT a learn-to-swim school. Therefore, prospective participants are screened at a tryout test to see if they have the minimum skills to benefit from the Junior Lifeguard Program. The instructors approve a child's skill level based upon successful completion of the test and on the child's swimming competence and confidence.

NOTE:  Please ensure you register for one of the week sessions before or after you register to this tryout.

TRYOUT TEST

The tryout test consists of:

• Swim the front crawl (freestyle) for 100 yards in 2 ½ minutes or less without fins or other assistance.
• Step into deep water from the side, submerge, and swim a distance of 10 feet underwater.
• Tread water for three minutes using arms and legs.

The tryout test should only take 15-20 minutes with multiple tests running throughout the scheduled time period.  Please arrive at least 45 minutes prior to the end of this scheduled tryout session.
