At tryouts, candidates will submit an application (download an interactive application at www.sbparks.org/aquatics) and complete a 1,000 meter ocean swim in less than 20 minutes.
Tryouts are the first step in the process to become a Santa Barbara County Lifeguard. To qualify for a beach lifeguard position, candidates must complete a demanding 40 hour United States Lifesaving Association Open Water Lifeguard Training in addition to CPR and extensive First Aid training. Trainings will be in March and April on weekends.
