PALMDALE – The city of Palmdale’s parks and recreation department is accepting registration for its Lifeguard Academies that will be held in February and March at Courson Park Pool, 39226 10th St. E. and Legacy Commons for Active Seniors, 930 E. Ave. Q-9.

The Lifeguard Academy is designed to train individuals with emergency and lifesaving skills. Academies will be held Friday evenings, from 4 to 8 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., from Feb 11 through 20 and March 4 through 13. The fee is discounted to $140 for Palmdale residents and is $175 for non-residents.

Participants must be at least 16 years old by the start of the class and be able to swim at least 300 yards continuously. Participants who successfully complete requirements will receive American Red Cross lifeguarding certification necessary to apply for a summer job at the City’s four swimming pools and at DryTown Water Park.

The course fee includes textbooks and supplies, including facial covering, pocket mask, hip pack, and Red Cross certification fee. More information will be given to participants after successful completion of the required swim test. Applicants may register online at www.PlayPalmdale.com.

“If you’re interested in a challenging and rewarding summer job, you can get a jump on summer lifeguard jobs this spring through our Academy,” said Recreation Coordinator Jacki Nuss.

For more information, call 661-267-5611.

    Rumor has it that Tim Scott tries out every year and just ends up staring at the underage lifeguard recruits. Creeper.

      LOL…one more time…if you want to hurt someone’s feelings you have to use a grain of truth, not just spew random nonsense that shows you are just making it up as you go along. Like, if you say “this guy “started a charity” that he is a beneficiary of, just as a scam” that is just gonna bounce right off most people. They would just be scratching their head saying “WTF is that about?” But someone who started, say, a charity to support a very specific small group that they “just happen” to be one of…they get the point.
