What’s new for the Friendswood Jr. Lifeguard program?
Starting Summer 2025, we are introducing a whole new program to help educate and mold the next generation of life-savers and stewards of the community!
Participants will undergo a four week session (3 days a week – M,W,F) learning all about the duties, responsibility, and life-saving skills that make great lifeguards.
Now, Jr. Lifeguards will go through over 30 hours of instruction time, including both in-water and dry-land activities. over the course of the program, participants will also be able to earn a certification in CPR and First Aid through the American Red Cross. Outside of the program’s class time, Jr. Lifeguards will also be welcome to volunteer at the Friendswood City Pool to assist with various programs and events, as well as during regular operating hours to gain on-the-job experience!
