City of Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program
2024 NBJG Program Age Groups
Age groups are determined based on your child's age on June 30 of the current program year.
| Participant Age on June 30, 2024 | Participant Division is: |
|---|---|
| 9 years old | D |
| 10 or 11 years old | C |
| 12 or 13 years old | B |
| 14 or 15 years old | A |
Swim Time Requirements: The swim time requirements for each Division are found on the "Swim Test" page.
What if my child's birthday is on or close to the cut-off date?
In order to maintain the integrity and safety of the program, the birthdate cut-off is firm.
We do not allow JG Participants to enroll in lower age group Divisions.
