JUNIOR LIFEGUARD COURSE
2020 dates: TBA
This course held at Liberty Pool focuses on developing swimming skills to help participants meet the American Red Cross Lifeguard pre-requisites. Participants will be introduced to lifesaving skills such as water rescues, use of a rescue tube, first aid, CPR & AED, and will shadow SPR lifeguards to get a real sense of being on the job. Must be a strong swimmer to enroll (swim a minimum of 100 yards and tread water for 1 minute). Class meets July 22-26; we will provide lunch on Friday. If you’ve been curious about what lifeguarding is all about, sign up today!
