LIFEGUARD CERTIFICATION
Learn how to effectively prevent and respond to water emergencies with American Red Cross lifeguard training. You will learn how effective preparation and quick response times are vital to being a lifeguard while also understanding the crucial elements in helping to prevent drownings and injuries.
This will be a blended learning course where you will have time in March to complete the online materials. 9 units/lessons will be offered (and repeated for those who cannot make specific dates.) Please make sure you attend all 9 units to pass the class. If you have an issue with a particular lesson, we can try to schedule a make up with other students. Lifeguard Certification tests will be on Saturday, April 29th. Plan to attend one date per unit/lesson unless you want a refresher:
A 2 year certification in Lifeguarding/First Aid/CPR/AED is issued upon successful completion of our training and coursework. A digital certification is available upon completion.
Age: Students must be at least 15 years old by the last day of class.
Qualifications: Students must pass a pre-course swimming skills test on the first day of water classes. This includes a 300-yard swim using front crawl or breaststroke, a 2-minute tread using legs only and the ability to retrieve a 10-lb dive weight from 7 ft deep, surface and swim 20 yds with the weight, using legs only and exit the pool without using a ladder within 100 seconds.
