Junior Lifeguard Programs offered on school closure days
Monday, October 14, 2024
(Edited Oct. 16, 2024) Starting this month, the Ocean Pines Aquatics Department will offer both single-day and six-session versions of its popular Junior Lifeguard Program, designed for children ages 7 and up.
Aquatics Director Michelle Hitchens said the courses are intended to be both fun and educational, and they are scheduled on school closure days to support local parents.
“The Junior Guard program focuses on essential life skills such as water safety, teamwork, problem-solving, swimming endurance, and self-confidence, while incorporating a variety of games and activities to keep the children engaged. It’s also a great opportunity for kids to enhance their water skills when schools are closed.”
To participate, children must be strong swimmers who can swim the length of the pool and tread water for at least one minute. Most the class will take place in the deep end of the pool.
Single-day courses will be held at the Sports Core Pool on the following dates from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.:
• Friday, Oct. 18
• Tuesday, Nov. 5
• Monday, Jan. 27
• Monday, Feb. 17
• Friday, April 4
The program is led by Steve Yarzinsky and his team of instructors. Participants will receive a Junior Lifeguard t-shirt and whistle. The cost is $75 for Ocean Pines residents and $80 for non-residents.
Additionally, a six-class Junior Lifeguard session will be offered every other Sunday from 1-3 p.m., Jan. 19 through March 30.
Each session includes six two-hour classes, totaling 12 hours of instruction. The cost for this extended program is $135 for residents and $150 for non-residents, and it also includes a t-shirt and whistle.
For more information or to register, call 410-641-5255.
