City of Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program
I'm not a Newport Beach resident. Can I still participate?
Yes! If you live outside of Newport Beach you are still welcome to become a Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard!
All NBJG participants are required to pass the NBJG Swim Test in order to qualify for program participation. We typically offer three swim test dates in March. Make-up dates are not offered.
What if we can't make the swim test because we live out of state?
NEW IN 2027! Beginning in 2027, there will no longer be an alternate swim test offered the day before the start of the NBJG Program.
Families wishing to join the NBJG Program will need to make arrangements to attend one of the scheduled March swim tests.
