Important registration updates!

Updated: Apr 7, 2021

Hi Junior Lifeguard Families, We are so excited to offer a summer program for 2021. With all the safety measures and protocols in place, we are planning to have a full program. Your patience and support are appreciated. There are a few changes to note:
  • The returning junior lifeguard registration window is 10 days. Please register and pay for the program to get priority enrollment.

  • Sand Crabs registration is not open yet. We are working diligently to offer a program that is safe, fun, and teaches your future Sand Crab.

Registration for this summer’s Junior Lifeguard Program for RETURNING junior lifeguards will open on Wednesday, March 31, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. Priority registration for returning junior lifeguards for the AM B and AM C Groups will be open until Friday, April 9, 2021. After April 9, registration for the AM B and AM C Groups will be closed and will be available through lottery only. Online registration for all other sessions will be open until June 1, 2021. In the event that we need to cap the number of participants, priority will be given to junior lifeguards that have registered and paid for the session they have chosen. If we cannot accommodate all new junior lifeguards, priority will be given to siblings of registered participants. If you have any problems or questions, please do not call any of the City’s Community Centers, they do not have information about our registration process. If you need more information, please email juniorguard@surfcity-hb.org or call 714-374-1501. To begin registration, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the following website: www.hbsands.org.

  2. All returning junior lifeguard families have a household account. Please use this account to register.

  3. Once you’ve logged on, find the Junior Lifeguard Registration Class Activity Number. There are many ways to do this. You can search for the class by clicking on the “Search Programs” button. The activity number to register is 900001 and the age of your junior lifeguard and the session time (AM or PM) will determine the section number that you sign up for.

  4. The following is a list of the different section numbers for the different groups:

    • Activity Numbers:

  7. Next, fill out your credit card information and “Submit Payment”.
