May Lifeguard Course
Keep your lifesaving skills current with the American Red Cross Lifeguarding Re-certification course at the YMCA. This blended learning course provides currently certified lifeguards the opportunity to review and refresh essential lifeguarding knowledge and hands-on rescue skills needed to maintain certification.
Participants will practice critical emergency response techniques, including water rescues, CPR, AED use and first aid skills, while completing both online coursework and in-person training sessions. Proof of a current lifeguard certification is required to participate.
All online coursework must be completed prior to the start of in-person sessions, and participants must attend all scheduled classes and successfully pass written and water skill assessments.
