Description: The Vancouver Lifeguard Association Beach Alert camps train Jr. Lifesavers in three different environments: preparing participants for first aid emergencies on land, water rescues in pools, and safety on the beach and in the ocean. This dynamic approach provides well-rounded exposure to the different elements of lifesaving and introduces participants to the fundamentals of real world lifesaving. The camps include an introduction to lifeguard-specific skills, such as hand signals, communication, rescue drills, and the use of specialized equipment. Through relay races and simulated rescues, Beach Alert participants have fun as they learn, using equipment such as the paddleboards, rowboats, kayaks, and rescue cans. The course runs from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm weekday mornings, with one week per session. Participants must be between the ages of 9-15 and have the ability to swim 50 metres with stopping, tread water for 2 minutes and be comfortable in ocean and open water.

Notes:
Please meet by the main entrance of the Kitsilano Yacht Club at 2401 Point Grey Rd. Pick-up at the end of the program will also be by the main entrance of the Kitsilano Yacht Club.
