September Lifeguard Course
Keep your lifesaving certification current with the American Red Cross Lifeguarding Re-certification course at the YMCA. This blended learning program allows currently certified lifeguards to review and refresh essential skills needed to respond confidently to aquatic emergencies and maintain professional certification.
Participants will complete online coursework prior to attending hands-on, in-person training sessions focused on water rescues, CPR, AED use and first aid techniques. Proof of a current lifeguard certification is required for participation.
All participants must complete the online learning component, attend every in-person session and successfully pass written and water skill assessments to earn recertification.
