    Description

    The Bronze Star Junior Lifeguard Academy combines lifesaving certification with swimming skill development, fitness training, and leadership activities. Participants improve swimming proficiency, refine stroke mechanics, build endurance, and develop self-rescue and lifesaving skills through in-water and dryland training.
    The program introduces basic first aid, teamwork, and personal fitness while encouraging confidence, responsibility, and personal-best achievement. It is an excellent preparation for Bronze Medallion and a fun introduction to lifesaving sport.
    Minimum swimming requirement: Swim 400 metres using a mix of front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke.
    Supervision: Children 9 and under must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 16 years.
