Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Wednesday, April 3, 2024.
This program is directed towards those interested in enrolling in a Lifeguard Certification Course. The prerequisites will allow you to be assessed on where you are with your skills prior to enrolling into a Lifeguard Certification Course. The prerequisites are as follows: Swim 300 yards, continuously demonstrating breath control and rhythmic breathing. Candidates may swim using the front crawl, breaststroke or a combination of both, but swimming on the back or side is not allowed. Swim goggles may be used. Tread water for 2 minutes, using only the legs. Candidates should place their hands under their armpits. Complete a timed event 1 minute and 40 seconds. Starting in the water, swim 20 yards. Swim goggles are not allowed. Surface dive, feet-first or headfirst, to a depth of 7 to 10 feet to retrieve a 10-pound object. Return to the surface and swim 20 yards on the back to return to the starting point with both hands holding the object and keeping the face at or near the surface in order to breathe (or to get a breath). Exit the water without using a ladder or steps.
