Schedule: Monday - Friday 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.The mission of NSLA's Junior Lifeguard Program at Waimea Bay is to get kids an early start in ocean and beach safety, physical conditioning, basic First Aid and CPR, and environmental and cultural awareness to empower the next generation of lifesavers and ocean enthusiasts.FAQWho runs this program?

This is NOT a City & County program. The North Shore Lifeguard Association (NSLA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1996 by the District Three City & County Ocean Safety lifeguards who live and work in the North Shore, O‘ahu community. NSLA's Ocean Safety experts provide lifesaving education year-round to the North Shore community through instructional programs for the public, professional athletes visiting for ocean-oriented events and contests, and the youth through the Junior Lifeguard Programs.

What skills does my kid need to participate?
