This course does not certify Junior Lifeguards as lifeguards. It does, however, certify them in First Aid and CPR upon successful completion of requirements outlined by the American Red Cross. In addition to a CPR and First Aid certification, the program will provide a foundation of knowledge, attitude, and skills that will prepare participants for lifeguard training in the future if they choose. Participants will also participate in both dry land and in-water exercises each day, and will receive swim stroke refinement. Under the supervision of our qualified instructors, your child will practice the skills necessary to become a successful lifeguard, and will learn and practice the skills necessary in order to become certified in first aid and CPR. All sessions will consist of conditioning, lifeguard instruction, and special activity days. Conditioning will include swimming, running, calisthenics and team-building games, in addition to other physical activities.
