The Junior Lifeguard class is designed to prepare your child to qualify for the Junior Lifeguard summer camp swim test (for Playa Vista 90094 residents only with security card access to pool).

Playa Vista Swimming specializes in private lessons and classes tailored to help swimmers pass the Junior Lifeguard Test. Our approach emphasizes thorough training in swimming techniques and endurance, aiming to help participants meet the qualifying times for their age categories. We also offer coaching on crucial skills like effective breathing, turning, and race strategy. JLG swim tests will be in March and April. We suggest kids start swimming in February to give them enough time to train to achieve the qualifying time. They need at least 3 solid months of training and technique instruction to have a chance at making the qualifying time. We also recommend your child to be ready by the first test date because the sooner a child passes, the more likely he/she will be assigned to their beach of choice. (First come, first served.)

Prerequisite: Swimmers must be able to swim 50 yards (2 lengths of big pool) Freestyle without stopping. Not sure if this is the right group? Come for an assessment here.

Where: Center Pointe Club in Playa Vista (swimmer must be a resident of 90094 with security card).

When: Classes are offered February through May on Tuesdays and Thursdays 6pm-7pm. (When enrolling you must add each day to your cart). If you can’t make Tuesday or Thursday, you can still get JLG training in our Mon, Wed or Fri Otters/Dolphins classes as an alternative. You many also want to consider private lessons.

Ages: 8 years and up.

Equipment needed: Swim Suit, Goggles, Adult Kickboard, Adult Pull Buoy and PVS Swimming Cap (if you have long hair). Equipment recommendations can be found at our Shop.

Price: $27.50 per 60-minute class (billed monthly). Lessons are a recurring monthly membership and are billed at the beginning of each month (the first month is prorated). The price is calculated and billed for the number of classes that month. For example, your class is on a Monday and there are 5 Mondays in the month. Price of class x number of classes in that month = amount billed for that month.

Annual Registration Fee: There is a $35 annual registration fee per student collected at initial registration and annually on the anniversary month.

If you wish to discontinue billing, go to your account here before the 15th of the month. Refunds are not given for cancelling mid-month and the $35 annual registration fee per student is collected at initial registration and annually on the anniversary month.

IMPORTANT - Don’t wait until the last minute! Every year, we see children joining our program in March with a test scheduled for April. To the right is a real example showing how much time we need to shave off in a very short period. Please sign up early. Worst case scenario, your child can pass the test now and then maintain their skills until the actual test.
