Lifeguarding Recert Course June 16

Please consider your skills and knowledge level before registering for this class. Your past certification does not entitle you to a renewed one. You must pass all tests. If you have not worked recently as a lifeguard or feel that you will not be able to pass with the one day class, you should consider the full class for a complete review of the skills. We will not refund or retest a failed review class.

The purpose of the American Red Cross Lifeguarding course is to provide returning lifeguard participants with the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize and respond to aquatic emergencies and to provide care for breathing and cardiac emergencies, injuries and sudden illnesses until emergency medical services personnel take over.

You will need an appropriate adult and Infant size mask Click here to add one to your registration

You will still be tested to your knowledge and skill at the same level as a first time lifeguard to receive your recertification so we require you to finish the online content.  http://redcrosslearning.com/course/73031950-15c1-11e7-b4e0-51657ecd06af
