Description :

The American Red Cross Lifeguarding program trains participants to prevent, recognize, and respond to aquatic emergencies. Through a combination of online video training, classroom instruction and hands-on water practice, lifeguards learn essential skills such as water rescues, surveillance techniques, CPR, AED use, and first aid for adults, children, and infants. The course emphasizes safety, teamwork, and effective communication to maintain a secure aquatic environment. Upon successful completion, participants earn nationally recognized Red Cross certifications in Lifeguarding, First Aid, CPR, and AED, qualifying them to work at pools, across the United States.

A competency swim is required before the class to prove efficiency in the water.  Attendance on all days and times is mandatory.
