The Program is designed to continue daily training practices on lifesaving techniques necessary for Seasonal Ocean Lifeguards, as well as to provide safety for Newport Beach Lifeguard Programs.

Individuals that successfully complete the Basic Lifeguard Academy will be placed on an eligibility list. Based on Lifeguard Operational needs, candidates may be promoted to either a Lifeguard Cadet or a Lifeguard I.
