American Red Cross Lifeguarding Blended Class

In this class, you will learn the skills required to deal with all types of water emergencies as you work towards your certifications in Lifeguarding, CPR and AED. These certifications are required to work as an American Red Cross Lifeguard as well as being highly valued by colleges and future employers. A participant’s manual and CPR mask are included with the course materials. Participants must be 15 years of age. A swim test is a pre-requisite for the course. In order to obtain certification, participants must attend all classes and pass final written and practical exams. There is a two-hour online portion that is required to take before the course starts. Coursework is challenging and rigorous and only participants who are serious about obtaining the lifeguard certification should enroll. Participation in the class does not ensure a job with the Lake Bluff Park District.
