About This Activity
Description
Attention all current lifeguards! This course is for individuals with a Lifeguarding certificate that is 30 days or less beyond the expiration date may participate in a review course so make sure you recertify now! If you let your certification lapse you will need to retake the entire course. You must be able to swim 300 yards continuously demonstrating breath control and rhythmic breathing, tread water for 2 minutes using only the legs, and complete a timed event. The timed event involves retrieving a brick in deep water and swimming it to a designated spot within 1 minute, 40 seconds. Students need to review all skills and then must successfully demonstrate proper techniques and pass the written exams to obtain recertification. Bring your swimsuit to every class. It is your responsibility to register and download the "new" text book from the American Red Cross website.
