Lifeguard Training - 10616

Get empowered with the skills and confidence needed to excel at lifeguarding! The purpose of the American Red Cross Blended Learning Lifeguarding course is to provide entry-level lifeguard participants with the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize and respond to aquatic emergencies and to provide care for breathing and cardiac emergencies, injuries and sudden illnesses until EMS personnel take over through instructor-led sessions and interactive online eLearning modules. Must be at least 16 years old. Participants must have previously passed the Lifeguard Pre-test (both pre-test and course must be taken at the same facility) where they demonstrated: 1. Swim 300 yards continuously, demonstrating breath control and rhythmic breathing. 2. Tread water for 2 minutes using only the legs, (hand placed across chest under armpits). 3. Must complete a timed event within 1 minute 40 seconds: Starting in the water, swim 20 yards then surface dive, feet-first or head-first, to a depth of 7 to 10 feet to retrieve a 10-pound object and then swim 20 yards on back, with both hands holding the object and finally exit the water without using a ladder or steps. Participants must have internet access in order to complete the online component of this course.
