2021 Junior Lifeguard Special Program Events

*All events are subject to change based on current health and safety protocols*

 

Ben Carlson Day

On July 6, 2014, Newport Beach Lifeguard and former JG Instructor, Ben Carlson made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty while saving the life of another. On this day each year, we pay tribute to the sacrifice he made. As part of the Ben Carlson Day event, there will be a running and ocean swim event open to all current Newport Beach Junior Lifeguards. Additionally, there will be other celebration elements to honor Ben and the role of ocean lifeguards in the community.

 

Hot Dog Dinner

Hot Dog Dinner is a fun event for the whole family! On this day we host a hot dog BBQ dinner. This is a great opportunity for families to meet all the NBJG staff!

 

Santa Barbara Fiesta

Santa Barbara Fiesta is a day focused on fun and competition. This event is open to Junior Lifeguards of all competitive levels and from all age divisions. It takes place at Santa Barbara East Beach. JGs and their families are responsible for transportation to and from the event. JGs interested in attending should talk to their instructor.

 

Regionals 

Regionals is an invite-only competitive event put on by CSLSA. JGs are selected for participation based on their competition results each week of JGs. JGs and their families are responsible for transportation to and from the event. The current plan is for the 2021 CSLSA Regionals to take place in Carpinteria.

 

Monster Mile 

Monster Mile is a JG event that consists of a 1 mile run from the Balboa Pier to 10th Street and a 1 mile swim back. Each year Monster Mile has a different theme and JGs are encouraged to wear costumes! Monster Mile typically takes place on a Thursday and there are altered sessions times this day for JGs.

 

Graduation

On the final day of JGs we hold a graduation ceremony. During the ceremony, graduation certificates and special awards are distributed and JGs get to celebrate completing the NBJG program!
