Life Guard Classes
Offered occasionally throughout the year at Downtown YMCA through the American Red Cross. Certification is good for 2 years after successful completion of session.
Pre-requisites:
· 150 yards of continuous swim, into 2 minutes of treading (legs only), into 50 yards of continuous swim.
· Complete a timed event in 1 minute 30 seconds. Start in the water (shallow side), swim 20 yards, surface dive to bottom of pool and retrieve a 10 lb. brick, swim back to shallow end without using arms, place brick out of the water, and hop out without stairs or ladder.
Participants must pass the American Red Cross pre-course online test within TWO attempts. Note: The link for the test will be sent via email after registration is complete. This online portion is quite extensive, so participants should allow several hours to complete it.
