Step 1: Set Up Your Account (January)

YOU ARE A RETURNING FAMILY IF: Your child (or your child's sibling) participated in last summer's Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program.
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.
REVIEW ACCOUNT INFO: Make sure all child information is correct and up-to-date on each child entered in the system.
REVIEW/ADD AUTHORIZED USERS: Be sure to also check the "my account" section and add/update account information and any authorized users.
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.
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.
