Interested in becoming a future lifeguard? Join us for the Junior Lifeguard Program Information and Registration Day on Thursday, July 2 at 6:00 PM at the Palm Bay Aquatic Center. This session includes program information, swim testing, and registration. Space is limited, and dates and spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Goggles are permitted during the swim test.
