how do you get your lifeguard license
Best Answer: go to the YMCA. classes are like everyother day for 2-3 weeks for 1-6 hours at a time. it depends on the instructor. you have to do book work/quizzes for practice. and practice skills [rescues, etc] in the pool. there's an exam at the end that you have to get 80%+ on to pass. it's not hard. I got my lifeguard license and first aid / first responder training at a community college.
Lifeguard Training and Certification Program. Register for and pass the water swim test/lecture at a local swimming. pool reserved by the Division for this Guard Course. A GUARD COURSE roster with a Pass or Fail for each participant will be forwarded. to the Division by the Board of Health Lifeguard Instructor.
