About This Activity

Description

The American Red Cross Lifeguard course provides entry-level 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 illness until emergency medical services personnel takes over. Textbooks are covered by the registration fee.
To enroll in the lifeguard course, you must be at least 15 years old prior to the last day of the session.

Participants must be able to pass the following prerequisite skills on the first day of class:
- Swim 300 yards continuously using front crawl or breaststroke.
- Tread water for 2 minutes without using your arms.
- Retrieve a 10-pound diving brick at a depth of 7-10 feet.

- attend all classes during the course (be prepared to swim)
- participate in all skill sessions/drills, activities, and scenarios
- demonstrate competency in all required skills and scenarios

The class sessions will require strenuous activity. You are encouraged to check with your health care professional before participating in the course. If a medical condition or disability exists that may prevent participation, please contact Payton Kryla at the MAC to discuss reasonable accommodation prior to registration.

Upon successful completion participants will receive an American Red Cross certificate for Lifeguarding/First Aid/CPR/AED that is valid for 2 years.
