For those who have taken a lifeguard training course and need to renew their certifications. Course includes lecture and video review, skills practice and testing (written and skills). Upon successful completion the American Red Cross will issue certificates in Lifeguarding/First Aid/CPR/AED. 

This class is NOT appropriate for students who have never taken the American Red Cross Lifeguard Training Course.

Students must have current American Red Cross Lifeguard certification or certification that is no more than 30 days expired to be eligible for a Lifeguarding Review class. Must bring evidence of most recent certification to the first day of class.

We recommend review students study ahead of the in-person sessions.  You can review lifeguard course content and watch video segments by creating an account with the American Red Cross here.
