The program rapidly expanded over the years and became one of Newport Beach’s most popular youth education programs. The program now utilizes about 60 instructors and support staff and averages over 1,350 program participants. Several current lifeguards and permanent staff members started their life guarding experience as Junior Lifeguards.
Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for children. Proceeds from the event will support the work of the Newport Beach Historical Society, a nonprofit 501(C)(3) organization.
