About This Activity

Description

The primary purpose of the American Red Cross Lifeguarding program is to train lifeguards to act with speed and confidence in emergency situations both in and out of the water. Topics include water rescue skills, surveillance, and recognition, first aid, breathing and cardiac emergencies, CPR, AED and more.

Please note that all participants must be at least 15 years old by Monday, July 7, 2025. They will need verification of age and identity. If a birth certificate is used, there must be a photo ID that goes with it (State ID). Below are the Prerequisites that we will do on the first day.

July 7 - July 10, 2025


Prerequisite Swimming Skills Evaluation

You must complete the following sequence:

Jump into the water from the side, totally submerge, recover to the surface and swim 150 yards.

After swimming 150 yards, maintain position at the surface of the water without support for 2 minutes by treading.

After maintaining position at the surface of the water for 2 minutes, swim 50 more yards.

While swimming, you must swim continuously, keeping your face in the water and demonstrating good breath control. - You may use the front crawl, breaststroke or a combination of both. Swimming on the back or side is not permitted. - Swim goggles are allowed. While treading, you can only use your legs. - Place your hands under your armpits. - Your head must remain above the surface of the water.


You have 1 minute, 40 seconds to complete the following sequence (no goggles allowed):

Starting in the water, swim 20 yards. Your face may be in or out of the water.

Surface dive (feet-first or head-first) to a depth of 7 to 10 feet to retrieve a 10-pound object.

Return to the surface and swim 20 yards on your back to return to the starting point, holding the object at the surface with both hands and keeping your face at or near the surface. Swimming the distance underwater is not permitted.

Exit the water without using a ladder or the steps.


There are NO REFUNDS once class has started. If there is any doubt about a candidate successfully completing the pre-requisite skills evaluation in two attempts on class day, contact me to schedule a pre-course evaluation. Participants who are unsuccessful at the skills evaluation on class day are ineligible to participate in the course at this time and are ineligible for refunds/transfers.

Upon successful completion, the student will be certified for 2 years.

towels, comfortable classroom clothing, food, drinks (water only in non-breakable containers permitted on pool deck).
