You will also need to swim 20 yards and retrieve a 10lb. This is the core program in the American Red Cross aquatic curriculum. You will learn equipment-based rescues, Standard First Aid and CPR for the Professional Rescuer, how to prevent accidents, respond to emergencies and demonstrate professional lifeguarding skills.
Successful completion certifies students as lifeguards so that they can guard at a swimming pool.
There are no pre-requisites for this class. This program is developed for children under the age of 15, who are interested in learning about what it takes to become a lifeguard.
