Junior Guards USA: Real Coast Guard Training | Savannah News

Junior Guards USA wrapped up its summer with an adrenaline-pumping finale at Coligny Beach, where campers trained in water rescue and witnessed a live Coast Guard helicopter deployment—turning real-world emergencies into immersive lessons. Led by former Coast Guard rescue swimmers, the program not only builds lifesaving skills but also supports the Coast Guard’s operational hours, with top campers even qualifying for above-entry-level roles. Some kids are already certified rescue swimmer technicians, and one dreams of becoming a helicopter pilot—training even overseas in Portugal and Thailand. When the big demo was last-minute relocated from Tybee Island, the campers didn’t flinch—they pivoted and produced, proving resilience and grit are as vital as survival skills.
