Preregister students for junior lifeguard program
St. Johns County Fire Rescue announced to local news reporters at Historic City News that registration will be opening soon for the 2010 Junior Lifeguard program.
Pre-Registration will begin starting Monday, May 3, 2010 at 8:00 a.m. Students will be registered for the program on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration confirmation will not be completed until the student passes the swim evaluation and provides payment during one of the two posted evaluation dates.
During pre-registration, students are only required to turn in the completed registration paperwork.
The purpose of the St. Johns County Junior Lifeguard Program is to increase self-confidence and promote safe behavior in the aquatic environment. Throughout the course, students will acquire a wide range of skills including first-aid, CPR and rescue techniques.
“Safety is our primary consideration,” said Public Education and Information Officer Jeremy Robshaw. “During the program, each student will be challenged to have fun, become more confident in the water, and learn respect for themselves and each other.”
