Changes coming to Water Safety Courses By January 2023 there will no longer be Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Course or Red Cross Lifeguard Courses. Standard First Aid will continue. The Lifesaving Society is taking over that responsibility. We are working with them to program our new Swim For Life Instrcutor Courses and lessons. We’re excited for this new chapter and look forward to working with everyone! Please visit recex.ca/lethbridge for more information. recex.ca/lethbridge leth@recreationexcellence.com Aquatics
