Junior Lifeguards

Junior Lifeguards is a program for youths 11 - 17 sponsored by the City and County of Honolulu to promote ocean safety and awareness.

About the Junior Lifeguards Program

Periodically, Honolulu Ocean Safety stages Junior Lifeguard Programs for keiki ages 11-17. A recently completed Fall 2023 program reached more than 400 keiki! Ocean Safety will maintain a registration of all keiki who have completed our programs.

We are already starting to work with partners for planning our next offering in Summer 2024, so stay tuned to this page for updated information. The safety of your keiki is our primary concern, but we also want to impart some practical life-saving techniques that might help them or anyone nearby.

Just make sure they come ready to learn and ready to have fun!

Honolulu Ocean Safety is partnering with a number of community supporters and sponsors for these unique offerings, and instruction is conducted by current city Lifeguards -- among the very best watermen and waterwomen in the world.
