Junior Lifeguard Program
NMBOR Junior Lifeguards are youth ages 9-15 who love being in and around the water. During this camp, participants will learn beach safety, First Aid and CPR, and basic water rescue skills. Every day during the camp, Junior Lifeguards will engage in fun physical challenges and participate in team activities as they learn about how to keep themselves and others safe around the ocean. The camp is taught by Beach Patrol Officers and highly trained ocean lifeguards. Junior Lifeguards will have the opportunity to shadow real lifeguards as well.
Each participant should arrive to the beach wearing sunscreen as desired, bring a water bottle and towel, and be ready for some high energy fun. There will be one day where each age group will not be on the beach because they will be doing CPR training in a classroom.

Returning for 2025: CORE Program
The CORE (Conditioning and Ocean Rescue Education) program will again be offered to teens 14 and up who are interested in lifeguarding. Join us on Thursdays, March 27 through May 1, from 6:30-8:00pm. The program will take place at the NMB Aquatic and Fitness Center pool.
NMB Ocean Rescue aims to help CORE participants improve their swimming fitness and to offer more challenges that are not available in the Junior Lifeguard program. There is no registration cost associated with this program. Participants are asked to arrive with a pair of goggles and swimsuits suitable for lap swimming.
