What To Expect
Online Portion
Our Lifeguard Training course includes a 10-hour blended learning online portion that you can complete at your own pace. This portion includes interactive modules that cover crucial topics such as water safety, rescue techniques, and emergency response. It is designed to prepare you for the in-person training sessions and ensure that you have a solid understanding of the concepts before you hit the pool.
Water Skills
This fully-immersive course will start and end in the water. Students will be expected to proficiently complete the prerequisite swim tests before continuing the training. The instructor will then provide all the proper hands-on training for various rescues including active victims, passive victims, and even spinal injuries. Students will conclude the program by testing out their skills in the final scenarios.
Land Skills
With a focus in emergency CPR and AED training, students will be confident in their ability to save a life right out of the pool. Water rescues are just half of the knowledge as students will dive into the comprehensive skills of lifeguarding. Our class trains with the latest and most realistic training equipment used by the best professionals in the industry.
Perspective
It is incredible to think how vital lifeguarding and CPR training is to our community as a whole. Here are a few statistics to understand how aquatic safety affects us by keeping local pools in business, creating hundreds of jobs, and most importantly saving a lot of lives!
10
This is the number of classes in just one season at just one pool to change the dynamic of the aquatics industry and the success of all types of pools. With the blended learning option, classes become much more accessible.
200
This is how many lifeguards can get trained and certified in just ten courses over the course of a season. The certification lasts two years and will aid in the survival of both swimmers and pools alike.
1K+
This is the number of drownings that are prevented with just 200 lifeguards over the average course of their career. The key is in preventative lifeguarding an not just waiting for the time to rescue.
45%
This is the retention rate of lifeguards that come back for a second season and choose to work professionally again. Most of those lifeguards are hired at the same location which means more jobs and more pools being open for various aquatic programming.
