Tryout Information

JG Tryouts

*If you are a new Junior Lifeguard participant, (i.e. have never participated in a State Junior Lifeguard Program before), or if you did not participate in a State Junior Lifeguard Program last summer, you are REQUIRED to attend a tryout. Tryouts are non competitive and are used to ensure a minimum ability in the water.

We HIGHLY recommend that all potential participants get some pool/lap practice PRIOR to try-outs. All potential participants MUST pass try-outs in order to be able to participate in the program so it's a great idea to get comfortable with achieving the following requirements before the day of try-outs.

Each new participant is required to demonstrate:

  1. A continuous 100 yard swim
  2. A 10 yard underwater swim
  3. Treading water for 3 minutes

Time standards for the 100 yard swim are as follows:

Ages 9 - 11: under 2:40
Ages 12 - 13: under 2:30
Ages 14 - 15: under 2:00
