MCR-Aquatics offers American Red Cross courses for potential aquatics professionals. Participants must meet all prerequisites and attend all sessions. Call the facility for further information.

This course will train students to be certified in American Red Cross Lifeguarding, First Aid and CPR/AED for Professional Rescuer. Certifications are valid for two years. Attendance is required at all sessions to earn certification. Students must be at least 15 years old by the last day of the course. Proof of age is required at the first class. This course includes a pre-course check, which takes place on the first date listed for each Lifeguard Training course. Participants must pass the pre-course to continue. The precourse consists of three parts: 1. Swim 300 meters using front crawl or breaststroke.

2. Tread water for two minutes using only legs.

3. Swim 20 yards using free or breaststroke, surface dive to seven-10 feet, retrieve a 10-pound object, return to the surface, swim 20 yards on your back to starting position and exit the water on your own in under one minute 40 seconds.

Enrollment in this course does not guarantee certification. Students must pass written and physical exams. Course length is based on number of instructional hours, not the number of sessions. Each pool conducts courses based on the pool schedule. Cost of the course is $135.

Observation is allowed from designated areas only. At some facilities, clear observation may not be possible.

Observation is not possible at the MLK pool.

Class fee covers only the lessons and no other use of the facility.

Participants may enter the locker rooms ten minutes before the start of class.

Lesson questions should be directed to the facility where you wish to enroll.

For a detailed list of skills taught in each class, please inquire at the pool where you will be taking lessons.

Read course descriptions carefully and select the level at which the student has mastered all prerequisite skills. Review the Guidelines for Placement in Swim Classes on the following page.

If you are unsure of the student’s level or ability, evaluations are available at each indoor facility for one hour after the last lesson every Saturday and Sunday.

All other times are by appointment.

Registrations will not be accepted after the first lesson.

There are no transfers. If you have enrolled in the incorrect level, you will be withdrawn and withdrawal fees will apply.

Aquatics Lesson Weather Policy When an indoor lesson is canceled due to inclement weather, a practice pass will be given to each participant at the end of the session. Practice passes can be used for admission to a recreational swim session at any Montgomery County Recreation aquatic center. Practice passes expire six months from the date of issue and are valid for one adult and one child. When two or more lessons are canceled due to inclement weather, a pro-rated credit will be issued to the payer’s ActiveMONTGOMERY account at the end of the session. The credit issued will be for the cost of the canceled lesson(s). The credit can be applied to future aquatics lessons or any other Montgomery County Recreation program.

Please check each pool's listings for lesson schedule changes due to facility conflicts. Lessons will be held on all other days the facility is open.

Using Meditation to Deal w/ Holiday Stress Ages 18 & Up: Family reunions, outings with friends, parties, presents and food. The period from Thanksgiving to New Years is supposed to be the happiest time of the year. For all too many of us, the stress generated during the holidays makes it a time to dread rather than a time to look forward to. Join us as we discuss some of the issues that make these six weeks less than they could be. We'll explore stress, gratitude, generosity, dealing with expectations, and New Year's resolutions, and give you some ways to reduce stress and create a happiness that does not depend on outside conditions. No prior meditation experience is needed to enroll in this class.

Join us for a half day of meditation, short talks, and group discussions which will increase your awareness of the body and its relationship to the mind.

ACEing Autism @ Wheaton Indoor

Prerequisite: Families are required to complete a participant support questionnaire for the ACEing Autism organization. This information will help our coaches and volunteers be better prepared to help your child succeed.

This unique curriculum aims to develop coordination, confidence and social skills through on-court activities that emphasize taking turns, working in teams and following instruction. Class is led by our trained instructors & every participant is paired with a volunteer.

A clear & consistent weekly routine helps participants gain comfort & familiarity with tennis fundamentals. All tennis equipment is provided. While parents/caregivers are not expected to participate with their child, we do ask them to be responsible for assisting with any self-care if necessary during the program hour.
