A Mesa business is helping children build water-safety skills with programs ranging from 5 year olds to adults.
A week-long, hands-on Junior Lifeguard training experience for youth ages 12–16 is being held in March. Led by certified lifeguards, the program at Revel Surf Park, 4503 S. Power Road in Mesa, teaches water safety, rescue skills, surf technique and teamwork in a controlled wave-pool environment. It has daily coaching, games and an end-of-week awards and certificate celebration.
Participants should have some swimming ability, said Ryan Armstrong, general manager at Revel Surf.
