Lifeguarding Course
The American Red Cross lifeguard training and certification are imperative to the process of getting hired on as an official Red Cross lifeguard. Our detailed training includes both testing of hands-on skills as well as comprehension on written tests. An all-inclusive training program teaches the skills and knowledge needed by professional lifeguards to prevent and respond to aquatic emergencies at swimming pool facilities as well as open water, non-surf waterfront facilities. The certification, which includes First Aid, CPR and AED training, is valid for two years upon completion and is accepted nationwide. In the state of New York your CPR license must be renewed annually. The American Red Cross is the most respected source for training and certification of this kind.
Lifeguard course dates are tentative and set by the Aquatics Director.

As a lifeguard, you’ll interact with people multiple times a day, so you’ll naturally build your communication and interpersonal skills.
