Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Friday, December 30, 2022.
December 28-30 (Wednesday-Friday 9am-5pm)
This course provides the essential training necessary to work as a professional lifeguard. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive Red Cross certification in Lifeguarding/CPR/First Aid/AED.
Prior to course, participants are required to complete an online blended learning portion, which takes approximately 7 hours to complete, before the first meeting. Links to access the online course will be emailed to the address associated with the participant's ActiveNet account. For technical support, participants may consult 1-800-733-2767.
Participants must attend all portions of the course to be eligible for certification. All participants must complete the pre-course swim test, which includes a 300-yard continuous swim, two-minutes treading without using hands, and simulated water rescue requiring a surface dive to a depth of 7-10 feet. The purpose of the pre-course test is to ensure that the participant demonstrates comfort in the water, along with enough speed, strength and endurance to perform a combination of basic skills that are required and built upon throughout the course. No refunds will be given to those who do not successfully complete any portion of the course.
