Costa Mesa High School
HSBJG Tryouts & Registration

These tryouts are for the Huntington State Beach and Bolsa Chica State Beach Junior Lifeguard Programs. If you are a returning Junior Guard you do not need to attend these tryouts and you may register online, CLICK HERE for details.

The Costa Mesa High School pool is located behind the school (see the map below).

There will be uniforms and equipment available for purchase for new and returning Junior Guards. For more information about JG uniforms CLICK HERE.

The Junior Lifeguard Program is NOT a “learn to swim” school. Therefore, prospective students are screened at a tryout test to see if they have the minimum skills to benefit from the Junior Lifeguard Program. The instructors approve a child’s skill level based upon successful completion of the test and on the child’s swimming competence and confidence.

  Huntington State Beach:
