The Junior Lifeguard Program
"The Pier
Jump in OB was an awesome experience. It gives parents a unique
chance to share in the fun and camaraderie of the Junior Guard.
The jump was well organized, safe, and thrilling all at the same
time. It's for sure worth doing.
Thanks again for organizing such a cool event and taking the time to teach the kids skills they can use for the rest of their lives." All the Best, Mark Whitney Mehran Parent of a C Group Child |
This is an exciting time for the San Diego City Junior
Lifeguard Program (JG Program). We are in the middle of the first session
of the summer
with over 500 boys and girls participating in age group appropriate
activities from 9 to 17 years of age. The ocean, first aid and beach
safety skills
that each child learns will be used for the rest of their lives. This
priceless education saves lives now and will for many years into the
future.
Purpose
The San Diego Junior Lifeguard Foundation is dedicated to the advancement of water safety through the many programs it supports including Water Proofing San Diego, Learn to Swim programs for intercity youth, and 100 scholarships for disadvantaged family participation in the JG Program each summer.
Dear Junior Lifeguards,
I can't thank you enough for the JG opportunity for my sons. This is their second year in the program and it has been incredible. I can't help smiling everyday when I drop them off and pick them up. Your theme "Skills for Life" is perfect. Not only are my kids in great physical shape and becoming strong swimmers, they have also seen how they can push themselves physically and mentally. Jumping off the pier is symbolic for setting no limits and overcoming obstacles. It gives them the confidence to know they can move on to a bigger challenge and be successful. I am happy to support the program and volunteer in any way that would be helpful. Feel free to contact me via cell or email anytime. Sincerely, Nancy McCormick |
Our Board of Directors is made up of seven civic minded
people with over 80 years of combined lifeguarding experience with lifeguard
services
in Southern California including thousands of rescues between us. Most
have children who have participated in the program and all of us know
what a truly outstanding program it is. We are dedicated to the advancement
of water safety and the promotion of programs that save lives through
education and hands on experience.
Fundraising and Sponsorship Goals
The board is starting to but a plan in place to raise funds
for the continuation and growth of the JG Program. The fund raising activity
currently underway is Hawaii Day which raised $20,000 dollars for the
program last year, your generous contribution this year is appreciated.
