Do you have a pr***en at home who loves the water and is interested in maybe being a lifeguard one day? Our Lifeguard for a Day program is back with two new dates for 2026! 🛟

Sign up to get a firsthand view of the training that lifeguards go through! Try the swimming requirements, climb into a guard chair, jump in for a save, learn the basics of using rescue equipment and more! This is not a lifeguard certification class, but a firsthand exploration of some of the aspects of lifeguarding!

Location: Tomahawk Aquatic Center
Fee/Resident Discount: $30/25
Times: 9-11:30AM

Watch our team train a scenario with the Channahon Fire Protection District! 🛟

We hope to never experience it, but knowing how to work side-by-side with our local first responders is a skill that can save lives. Thank you to our awesome first responders who came out today to practice responses with us, answer questions, and help support the young adults who keep the pool safe! Today is one of three hands on trainings our lifeguards will do with the Fire Department this season.
