Junior Life Saving Training is a Junior Lifeguarding course to introduce participants to communication, teamwork and decision-making skills. Participants will learn the basic knowledge and skills required to participate in the American Red Cross Lifeguarding course when they are 15 years of age or older.

The FFY is dedicated to youth development and social responsibility. Our Junior Life Saving Training is part of our Summer 2025 Swim & Sport Introduction Camp for 11- to 14-year-olds. This program was created to introduce our community's youth to fun, new sports they've never tried before and deliver a top-tier aquatics training that emphasizes safety, community, and responsibility.
