We are very strict on our time standards for safety reason. You only get one try!!!!
If your child might be borderline passing, please test your child first and work with them before the test. The better swimmer the Junior Guard is the more fun they will have participating. Part I 100 meter swim under a maximum time limit. Test Times:

To complete this test, the body and head can not break the surface of the water. They are allowed 3 attempts. Part III Treading water for 3 minutes. What do the different tests represent? The first test shows us that the child is a strong enough swimmer for our program, the second test shows us that the child is comfortable enough to swim under waves, the last test shows us that the participant knows how to stay afloat for an extended amount of time. *Please send an e-mail to carlsbadjg@sbcglobal.net for any other questions or call 760 479-2000.
