About #SWFDJuniors
Thanks for your interest in the South Walton Fire District Junior Lifeguard Program!
Honoring our commitment to a safer beach environment in our community, the SWFD Beach Safety Division offers the Junior Lifeguard Program every summer for kids between the ages 9 -16. This annual program provides a fun, dynamic setting where students learn important safety skills to prevent injury and the loss of life in marine environments.
Our most recent program concluded in July 2025. We'll stay busy during the coming months to create an even better program for 2026. We will share additional registration information around the first week of April for the 2026 program, with swim tests taking place in May 2026.
Please follow our program on Facebook to learn more and stay up-to-date with us!
A note regarding each year's registration protocol: Applications are processed in the order in which they are received. Class and session sizes vary each year and are determined by an instructor-to-student ratio. We do our best to be accomodating and understanding to make sure everyone has a chance to be a part of the program, but should you have any questions, please email juniors@swfd.org.
