Junior Lifeguards

Castaic Lake has a Junior Lifeguard program. You have to pass several swimming test in order to participate. You have to swim 100 yards in under 2 min. The first day of try-outs she did it in 2:18 just missing it. She tried out two weeks later and passed. The program is a tough one. 6 hours a day of physical work...swimming, running ect. On the fourth day they complete The Macho Man, which is running around to the other side of the lake then swimming back across the width of the lake. 
I was nervous the first day she was going to do this. Aliza came home and said it was really hard, but she did it in 18 min and 36 seconds.  

Her daily outfit for 4 weeks, so cute!

At the end of the session they compete against Bonelli Lake Jr. guards. In her age group 9-11 she came in 6th place for the Long Run, 8th place for beach flags and 2nd place in all around relay. 
Great Job Aliza!
