Summer is here
The red bathing suits and swim caps are a sign that summer has officially arrived in Newport Beach and the Junior Lifeguard Program is busting with young swimmers and lifeguards to be. Had I grown up in Newport Beach I would have been a participant of this program every summer. I am still trying to figure out a way to join.
The program is open to children ages 9-15 who receive lessons on ocean and beach safety first aid and the basics of being a lifeguard during the program. There is a competition each day.
There are so many participants for the program, about 600 that there are morning and afternoon sessions.
It is a fantastic program run by the city.
