Jr Lifeguard Program. The 4 and 5 week DMJG Program is set up for first time participants and returning participants. It is a physically demanding program with lots of beach and water action along with FUN! Sportsmanship, team work, respect of the beach and ocean are stressed. Lifeguard rescue techniques are taught and practiced daily along with first aid and CPR. We will participate in Junior Lifeguard Competitions, field trips and an awards banquet at the end of each session.

Program Objectives: Our main objective is to provide children ages 9 to 16 with training in ocean safety. The program content consists of 50% ocean proofing, 15% physical development, 15% marine safety, 10% first aid skills, and 10% competition. To accomplish this objective, the program utilizes a classroom type environment and outside activities to stress the importance of safety while at the beach. The program will inform the Junior Lifeguard how to properly prevent injury and respond correctly in emergency situations. The Junior Lifeguards are in the Training Division of the Fire Department. They are provided with excellent instruction under the supervision of the Lifeguard Training Captain, Lifeguard Officer, 39 Instructors, and 6 Assistant Instructors. Each instructor is a certified Ocean Lifeguard for the City of Newport.
