San Diego Junior Lifeguards (SDJG) are required to wear a uniform during class. The following items are mandatory in order to participate each day:

• Yellow SDJG Rash Guard 
• Yellow SDJG T-Shirt
• Red SDJG Boardshorts/Swimsuit
• SDJG Hat
• Ocean swim fins (We recommend Da Fin or Duck Feet fins.)
• Optional items include SDJG hoodies and sweatpants.

**For safety reasons, all clothing and gear worn during class times must be San Diego Junior Lifeguard apparel. Please read our uniform policy below.

Uniform Policy

1. All JGs must wear an SDJG (yellow) uniform T-shirt or uniform rash guard. No other shirts are permitted.
2. All JGs must wear an SDJG hat for sun protection.
3. Girls must wear a red one-piece with an SDJG patch sewn on the left front. Two-piece swimsuits may be worn, but they must first be approved by the JG program management staff. Please email sdjuniorguards@sandiego.gov for information regarding acceptable two-piece swimsuits. The Roxy two-piece sold by Clairemont Surf is acceptable.
4. Girls may only wear red shorts over their suits. The shorts must have an SDJG patch sewn on the left front. They may not have any trim or designer logos, but small brand tags are acceptable.
5. Boys must wear red shorts with an SDJG patch sewn on the left front. The shorts may not have any trim or designer logos, but small brand tags are acceptable.
6. All shorts must be worn appropriately and around the waist. Boys may not have any undergarments showing.
7. Additional required items include proper foot protection (athletic-style shoes or sandals), swim fins (SDJG recommends Duck Feet or Da Fin), sunscreen, a pen, and a Field Training Guide (FTG).
8. Any optional uniform items must be an official SDJG issue. Wetsuits may only be worn with an official SDJG rash guard.
9. For safety reasons, JGs are not permitted to wear jewelry during JG operations. Long hair must also be tied back.
10. Finally, all personal gear should be marked with your first and last name on the outside for easy identification. The SDJG Program and staff are not responsible for any lost uniforms items or personal property.

Our Uniform Policy will be included in the Junior Lifeguard Field Training Guide, which will be handed out on the second day of the session.
