Event Description:
Upon successful completion of the Red Cross Lifeguarding course, you
will receive a Lifeguarding with CPR/First Aid/AED. Lifeguarding
program prepares lifeguards to prevent, protect and respond to aquatic
emergencies.
Throughout the
courses we'll focus on a number of key areas that can help you succeed
as a lifeguard, such as: Water safety at swimming pools.
At the beginning of the
training you will be required to past two swimming skills
evaluations.
Prerequisite 1: Complete a swim-tread-swim
sequence without stopping to rest:
Jump into the water
and totally submerge, resurface then swim 150 yards using the front
crawl, breaststroke or a combination of both. (Swimming on the back or
side is not permitted. Swim goggles are allowed.)
Maintain position at the surface of the water for 2 minutes by
treading water using only the legs.
Swim 50 yards using the
front crawl, breaststroke or a combination of both.
Prerequisite 2: Complete a timed event within 1 minute, 40
seconds:
Starting in the water, swim 20 yards. (The face
may be in or out of the water. Swim goggles are not allowed.)
Surface dive (feet-first or head-first) to a depth of 7 - 10
feet to retrieve a 10-pound object.
Return to the surface and
swim 20 yards on the back to return to the starting point, holding the
object at the surface with both hands and keeping the face out at or
near the surface.
Exit the water without using a ladder
or steps.
There is prework that will need to be completed
for the in person sessions. You will receive information on how to
access the on-line course work in your confirmation email the week
before the class.
This certification allows leaders to
take their girls swimming in a pool only.
