Ocean Prep

We have always wanted to create a space for kids who feel a little nervous about the ocean, whether that's getting comfortable in the water or preparing to try Junior Lifeguards for the first time. We are so excited to finally bring that vision to life.

Building Confidence in the Ocean

Ocean Beginners

For kids who feel hesitant in the ocean, no experience needed.

Is your child interested in Beachsports or eventually joining the Jr. Lifeguard County Program but a little hesitant about the water? This group is all about breaking down barriers. We focus on getting kids comfortable with the ocean at their own pace with a low 1:6 coach-to-participant ratio to ensure personalized attention and safety. Through fun, ocean-based activities and gentle introductions to the waterline, we help turn "water anxiety" into "water excitement."

Requirements: Age 7.

Get Ready for Jr. Lifeguards

Ocean Prep · JG Prep

For kids who've passed their swim test and plan to join LA County Jr. Guards.

The LA County Jr Lifeguard (JG) program can be intimidating for some kids. This group is specifically for those who have already passed the JG test but might have some nerves going into summer. We provide a supportive environment to build their ocean IQ and physical confidence, ensuring they walk onto the sand on day one of JG's feeling prepared and empowered.

Requirements: Passed the JG swim test.
