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 April to complete the online materials. 9 units/lessons will be offered in 7 days. Please make sure you attend all units to pass the class. If you have an issue with a particular lesson/date, we can try to schedule a make up with other students. Lifeguard Certification tests will be on Saturday,May 4th.
**If you turn 15 after the class end date, please let us know so that we can schedule appropriately.
THE DATES WILL BE ADJUSTED DUE TO A HEATER BEING INSTALLED ON THE POOL. CLASS DATES are TBA but there will be opportunity for make up classes. It is likely there will be Sunday times due to pool availability.
