Signups still available for Laguna youth programs
Children interested in the junior lifeguard program and track and field can still register in Laguna Beach.
For junior lifeguards, Laguna children ages 8 to 15 have until 5 p.m. Monday to get a $25 discount. After that time, non-Laguna residents may register at full price for weeklong sessions that begin June 26.
Newcomers must pass a swim test at the Laguna Beach community pool at 670 Park Ave., unless they participated last year.
Children ages 8 to 11 must swim 100 yards in 2 minutes, 20 seconds, while children ages 12 to 15 must swim 100 yards in 1 minute, 50 seconds, according to the city website.
The junior guards program offers education in ocean safety, rescue techniques, physical fitness and marine safety operations.
