LIFEGUARD TRAINING,  RE-CERTIFICATIONS, BLENDED LEARNING

Through videos, group discussion, and hands-on practice, you’ll learn teamwork, rescue and surveillance skills, First Aid, CPR/AED, and other skills you need to work as a professional lifeguard. Successful completion results in a 2-year Lifeguard Certification.

American Red Cross Lifeguard classes are for adults or young adults aged 15 and over. Blended Learning lifeguard training classes offer online coursework that must be completed before entering the classroom. This will enable the in-person lifeguard training sessions to be held in a shorter amount of time.

Online coursework needs to be completed by the first day of class. You will receive a message verifying your successful completion of the online portion. Course material will be sent to the email you provided before in-person learning begins.

Please bring swimming attire to all classes.

Completion of the online coursework alone does not certify you as a lifeguard.

This course is strictly limited to those individuals who are at least 15 years of age at the start of the course.

Swimming Requirements:

• 100-Yard Swim: Swim 100 yards continuously, demonstrating breath control and rhythmic breathing. Candidates may swim using the front crawl, breaststroke, or a combination of both, but swimming on the back or side is not allowed. Swim goggles may be used.
