BOYS' SWIMSUITS

  • When going in the water, boy's may choose to wear JG issued trunks, or a well-fitted, competitive style suit.

  • Common styles include speedos and/or jammers (to be worn under JG uniform trunks).

  • If wearing a speedo or jammers under trunks, solid navy blue is highly preferred.

GIRLS' SWIMSUITS

  • LBJGs does not sell any one or two-piece swimsuits. We recommend a well-fitted, competitive style, one or two-piece swimsuit (solid navy blue is highly preferred). Any brand is acceptable, however the suit must be full coverage. Our paid lifeguards are issued JOLYN suits.

  • If purchasing from JOLYN:

    • Recommended bottoms include, but are not limited to: AndyAlly, or Bali.

    • Recommended tops include, but are not limited to: RyanTomcat and Heidi. Both fixed and tie-back are permitted.

    • Recommended one-pieces include but are not limited to: Chevy, Brandon, and Jackson

  • JOLYN suits can be ordered online or at The Swim Guy (4107 N Viking Way, Long Beach, CA 90808)

The Swim Guy, a local swim shop near Long Beach Community College, has partnered with us for a swim suit fundraiser! If you purchase your red or blue athletic suit from The Swim Guy and mention Long Beach Junior Lifeguards at checkout, 20% of your purchase will be donated back to the program's nonprofit! The nonprofit provides support to the JG program in the way of scholarships, additional equipment, and supplies!

SUN PROTECTION

  • Rashguards: We encourage JGs to wear rashguards whenever possible. They are helpful for JGs to keep in their bags for paddle board days (help prevent rashes from the boards) and provide excellent sun protection! If your JG will be wearing a rashguard while swimming, we recommend a tighter fit to reduce drag in the water. 

    • LBJG rash guards are available to purchase on our online store. If you prefer your own rashguard, please note that red is highly preferred. 

  • Hats: JG hats will be available to purchase, but if you prefer to wear your own please note that navy hats are highly preferred.
