LIFEGUARD TRAINING &
COMMUNITY FIRST AID

The Y is the areas premiere lifeguard training center, running classes and programs to certify or re-certify lifeguards year round. Successful course completion involves both written and practical examinations.

American Red Cross Lifeguarding classes are for adults or young adults age 15 and over. There are prerequisites for the class which include swimming 300 meters of breaststroke, freestyle or a combination of both, treading water for 2 minutes without hands, swimming 25 meters, retrieving a 10 lb brick from the deep end of the pool and getting out of the pool without using a ladder or stairs.  Course includes 2017 American Red Cross Lifeguard, CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and Standard First Aid. CPR Resuscitator Mask included in class fee. Class includes a mixture of classroom and in-water instruction over the course of 28 hours.  Please note that payment for the class does not guarantee certification and there are no refunds for failure to pass the class.

LIFEGUARD RECERTIFICATION

Classes are periodically scheduled for Lifeguard re-certification. A currently valid lifeguarding certificate is required when enrolling in this class.

NEW! BLENDED LEARNING LIFEGUARD TRAINING

Blended Learning lifeguard training classes provide 7 hours of online coursework to be completed prior to entering the classroom. This will enable the in-person lifeguard training sessions to be held in a shorter amount of time.

Seven hours of online coursework needs to be completed by the first day of class and can be found at this link. You will receive a record verifying your successful completion of the online portion and this should be brought to the first day of class. (Completion of the online coursework alone does not certify you as a lifeguard.)
