New Junior Lifeguards must attend a LACoFD Junior Lifeguard Tryout and pass a 100-yard swim test under*:

  • 1:50 for ages 9-11 as of 7/1/22 – “C” Age Group
  • 1:40 for ages 12-13 as of 7/1/22 – “B” Age Group

*Swim times are determined by the age group a child will be participating in during the program, NOT the current age of the applicant. For example, if an applicant is 11 years old on the date of the tryout, but will turn 12 on or before July 1st, they are considered a “B”, not a “C”, and must pass the required “B” swim time.
