Sand Crab Picture Day

Dear Sand Crab Parents.

The Sand Crabs have their own picture day on Monday July 19, 2021, for AM session 1 and PM session 1. The session times will be the same as a normal day. The picture forms with the prices will be sent home with the Sand Crabs. In an effort to keep a safe learning environment, we will not have lessons on July 16, for the Sand Crab groups. This is a modified day with all the AM and PM Junior Lifeguards only attending the AM session. The Hot Dog BBQ, which begins at 5 p.m., and ends at 8 p.m, is for all JGs and Sand Crabs. Parents and siblings are welcome to come and enjoy a fun-filled evening with us as we play games, have music, and enjoy the hot dogs cooked by the instructors. Parents are asked to bring a dessert that can feed up to 12 people.

Thank you,

Tony Morelli

Sand Crab Group Leader

Bike Helmet Reminder

In the interest of safety for our Junior Lifeguard participants and the general public, please follow the guidelines below.

• If JG participants ride their bikes to the program, then they must wear their helmets while operating their bikes or e-bikes and maintain safe practices.

• The speed limit on the bike path should not exceed 10 mph at any time.

• When there is a crowd, the speed limit is 5 mph.

There have been complaints from citizens regarding Junior Lifeguards riding e-bikes at excessive speeds. Please make sure to remind your bike riders.

Thank you for your compliance on these issues.

C Division Surf Day

Dear Parents:

On Wednesday, July 14, the “C” Groups are participating in a surf day at Tower 26.

All parents should plan to drop their Junior Guards off in the parking lot north of Goldenwest Street at Tower 26. In order to avoid traffic, parents should consider arriving 20 minutes early to drop off their children. Do not stop on PCH to drop your children off. This is illegal and has caused major traffic problems in the past. Please pull into the parking lot as far as you can so that other parents can come in behind you. Again, if you stop at the entrance, other parents will not be able to enter the parking lot, causing a traffic jam on PCH.

Junior Guards will report for their regular scheduled time on this day (AM Session: 8:30-12:00 or PM Session: 1:00 - 4:30). All guards should wear their uniform, bring a towel, and sweatshirt. They may also bring their surfboards, wetsuits, boogie boards and fins. Junior Guards must wear their beanies in the water at all times. There will not be any option to purchase food during the surf day, so please plan accordingly and have junior guards bring something to eat and drink.

Please remind your child to wear sunscreen.

If you have any questions please call Junior Lifeguards at 714-374-1501.

Sincerely,

Sean Richards and Ryan Camps

“C” Group Leaders
