these other locations.

The goal of our program is to provide the youth of our community with a sound aquatic background and acquaint them with the
hazards and opportunities of Indian River County beaches while exposing them to an environment that will teach courtesy, respect
and good sportsmanship. We also offer assistance with career development to those who are seeking employment as a Lifeguard.

INSTRUCTORS:
Our instructors are Indian River County Lifeguards who have been chosen as role models to work with the Junior Lifeguard Program
based on their work history, lifeguarding experience and desire to work as a Junior Lifeguard Instructor.
