Avila Beach Junior Lifeguard Program

Avila Beach Junior Lifeguard Program ALOHA and WELCOME. The Avila Beach Junior Lifeguard Program is one of the finest programs for developing young watermen and women on the central coast.

Since 2001, we have provided kiddos with an unparalleled summer experience dedicated to teaching water safety awareness, building confidence in and around the sea, and looking at challenges as opportunities to BE and DO our best. The program has been running for the past 11 years. Founded by Russell Edwards, the program now hosts 200 junior guards from age 10-17. The program focuses on character d

evelopment and providing a rigorous curriculum including, paddling, running, swimming, outrigger canoe, first aid and CPR, and basic lifeguarding.

JG PROGRAMS REDUCE SCREEN TIME!

Aloha ABJG Families and Fans!

Have you heard of a Digitally Induced Dopamine Dump? It’s the brain’s response to overstimulation caused by excessive screen time—think social media, video games, YouTube, and more.

This response is triggered by constant exposure to 👍🏽 , ❤️ , and the endless stream of bite-sized content we consume at lightning speed.

What are the effects of dopamine dumps?

- Decreased patience

- Increased tiredness or lethargy

- Lack of motivation

- Lower self-confidence

- Difficulty focusing due to short reels and rapid scrolling
- Shortened attention spans
- And more...

JG programs are designed to help reduce screen time and support healthier, more balanced brain function for our keiki!

Do yourself a favor, register your kiddo Junior Lifeguards and the End of Day Camps, TODAY!
