2023 Schedule:
Red Cross Lifeguard Courses
This is the course that ends in the American Red Cross certification used at most pools across the country. If you want to become a lifeguard, this is how.
Why Us?
■ If your schedule changes, you can switch to one of
our other open courses at no cost, up to 48 hours
before the course.
■ We have tons of training equipment. In most
lifeguarding courses you spend a good portion of the
class waiting around for your turn to train on
different kinds of rescue equipment. This can
shorten our course by HOURS!
■You have access to the instructor by email, phone,
and text. You can ask questions ahead of time,
voice your concerns, and get help.
■ We waste no time in our courses, they are fast-paced. We know how you value your time. You
will never wait for your instructors to prepare,
transitions are fast, and we streamline all aspects of
the course. This can shorten our course by HOURS! We consistently hear from students who have previously taken courses elsewhere, that they sat around taking "breaks" or waiting for something for hours of the course.
■Most lifeguard courses are scheduled because that pool needs lifeguards. Extra spaces are then offered to the public. So often, to the instructor of these classes, teaching this is considered a nightmare of extra work. An attitude like that can really change a class. We love teaching lifeguarding and pride ourselves on having a great class.
■ We have small instructor to student ratios.
This is one of the ways we keep our quality
so high and it can shorten the course by
HOURS!
■ Many lifeguarding courses are taught by
people who only teach one course every
other year or so, and may have never been a lifeguard, a class at a high school for example. We have certified
thousands of lifeguards over 25 years. Our
head instructor is a national expert in
lifeguarding and has worked with some of the
biggest aquatic facilities in the country, and
has been acknowledged in lifeguarding
textbooks.
