How to Enroll

How to Enroll in the Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program


Step 1: Update/Create Your Account (Late January)

Update or create your account beginning January of the current program year.

► Returning 2020 JG Program Participants:

  1. YOU ARE A RETURNING FAMILY IF: Your child (or your child's sibling) participated in last summer's Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program.
  2. LOGIN: Login using your account information. If you can't remember your password, click "forgot password" to reset your password. If you can't remember your account email, please email us at NewportJG@nbfd.net.
  3. REVIEW ACCOUNT INFO: Make sure all child information is correct and up-to-date on each child entered in the system.
  4. REVIEW/ADD AUTHORIZED USERS: Be sure to also check the "my account" section and add/update account information and any authorized users.
  5. ADD SIBLINGS: If a new sibling (who did not participate last summer) is trying out this year, be sure to add him/her to your existing account by clicking "add junior." This sibling will have access to the "returning family" registration window. Important "new" sibling info: While this sibling has "returning family" status for registration purposes, he/she is still considered a "new" JG and will need to have all "new" JG documents present at the swim test.
  6. PRINT PAPERWORK: Complete, print, sign, and bring the swim test form to the swim test (one per child). Your child will not be allowed in the pool without this form.

► Families who didn't participate in last year's NBJG Program:

  1. YOU ARE A NEW FAMILY IF: Your child (or your child's sibling) was NOT enrolled in last summer's program.
  2. NEVER HAD AN JG ACCOUNT? If you have never had an account before, you will need to create a new account. Enter the information in the "my account" section. Be sure to list any "authorized users" who will need to have access to your child's account information.
  3. PREVIOUS ACCOUNT HOLDER? If you have had an account in the past, login using your prior account information. Update the information in the "my account" section. Be sure to list any "authorized users" who will need to have access to your child account information. If you can't remember your account info, please email us at NewportJG@nbfd.net.
  4. ADD YOUR CHILD'S INFO: Click "add junior" and input all requested information. This step must be done for each child trying out for the program.
  5. PRINT PAPERWORK:Complete, print, sign, and bring the swim test form to the swim test (one per child). Your child will not be allowed in the pool without this form.

 

Step 2: Swim Test Tryout (March)

There are typically three swim tests held over the first three weekends in March. Due to the ever-evolving COVID-19 situation, 2021 swim tests dates have yet to be finalized. Provided it is feasible within current COVID-19 guidelines, swim tests will be held in early March. 

Participants must try out each year at an NBJG swim test to qualify for the program. Be sure to bring all required documents! Learn more about the swim test!

 

Step 3: Process Payment

After your child passes the NBJG swim test, complete payment during your registration window. (See registration groups below.)

  • Log-in to your account during your registration window
  • Make sure your JG's uniform sizes are updated
  • Add your JG's session to your cart
  • Proceed to payment

All participants must pass the required NBJG swim test in order to enroll in the Program.
