Lifeguard Certification Course

About this event

Interested in being a lifeguard? Through videos, group discussion and hands-on practice, you’ll learn teamwork, rescue and surveillance skills. This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize and respond to aquatic emergencies and to provide professional-level care for breathing and cardiac emergencies, injuries, and sudden illnesses until emergency medical services (EMS) personnel take over. Completing the course results in a 2-year certification in Lifeguarding/CPR/AED/First Aid, all in one certificate. GREAT BENEFIT: Submit a job application to work as a lifeguard at BPRD, and we will enroll you in one of our lifeguarding classes for FREE. Plus, enjoy a benefits pass that provides rounds of golf, driving range balls, pool passes, fitness passes and a picnic shelter reservation.
