I just wanted to email to let you know how much our son, Luca, is loving Junior Guards this year. This is his second year doing it and he’s having a blast (he’s 7). It’s the perfect mix of fun and games, education, on sand exercise and in water swimming. I just wanted to let you know so you could tell the lifeguards leading the program how happy we are. I’m so sad that next week is the end! Thanks again for everything you do to keep Dewey safe, especially educating the next generation. We truly appreciate it.
