We offer both Lifeguard Training and Water Safety Instructor Training classes to prepare you for future aquatic job opportunities. Our classes are offered at an affordable rate by certified Red Cross Instructors.
Come prepared to swim for all classes including the first day. We suggest bringing two towels, warm cloths to change into, your books, e-reader (for downloadable books), pen, pencil, highlighter to each class. We also suggest bringing lunch, drinks and snacks.
Books for both classes are available through the Red Cross, www.redcrossstore.org or downloadable from the Red Cross web site at no cost.
