LIFEGUARDING ACADEMY (15+)
The Lifeguarding Academy is designed to prepare participants for Lifeguard employment eligibility. This class has a combined online and in-person practice to allow for self-paced learning (online) and skill practice (in-person). Participants must be age 15 by the end of the class and must be able to pass the pre-test given on the first day of the class: 300-yard continuous swim test using freestyle (front crawl) or breastroke, two minutes of treading water with legs only, and timed retrieval of a 10lb brick from the bottom of the pool. The participants are eligible to receive the Lifeguarding with CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers and First Aid certification which is valid for 2 years. Based on participants progress and skills, instructors may determine the student is not eligible to receive the certification and/or participate in the final examination. Attendance is mandatory for all class sessions. Online modules need to be completed before the first day of the class. More information about the online portion will be emailed two weeks before the start of the class. This class does not guarantee future employment. Class time and location are subject to change.
