• L.E.T.S. Guard participants will get to interact and assist in all areas of an aquatic environment including lifeguarding, swimming lesson instruction, aquatic camp, aquatic fitness, front desk, management and more.
• Participants are eligible to receive a StarGuard Basic Life Support (BLS) certification and earn volunteer hours that will be awarded at the completion of the program.
