Jr. Lifeguards

Megan decided to do the Jr. Lifeguard program again this summer. It is a pretty intense program where she is at the beach everyday for 3 weeks Monday-Friday from 9am-3pm. They work them pretty hard and they learn a lot about the ocean. Here is she ready to go:

She and her friend Sara went together.
At the end of the 3 weeks they have a big competition called "the vitamin". This is where all the jr. guards compete in everything they have been working on for the 3 weeks. Megan and Sara were in the group called "the skates". Here is the group of skates taking off at the beginning of the vitamin.


Here is Megan coming with her boogie board out of the water. During the vitamin, they run, swim, high step waves, & paddle boogie boards around buoy's.
She's working hard and staying in the front pack of the group.


She's exhausted but finished 5th overall! Go Megs!

Here she is with some girls she met doing a sand castle building contest.

She claims she will NOT be doing the program again next year! Alex thinks it is so great for her and she does enjoy it while there but it does take a lot of time. We'll see what happens next summer.
