COURSE PRE-REQUIREMENTS:1) Swim 300 yards (12 lengths of a 25-yard
pool) using front crawl, breaststroke or a combination of both.
Swimming on the back or side is not allowed. Swim goggles may be used.
2) Tread water for 2 minutes using only the legs.
3) Swim 20 yards, submerge to a depth of 7 to 10 feet to retrieve a
10-pound brick, return back to the starting point, and exit the pool
without using a ladder or steps. Time limit is 1 minute, 40 seconds.
Swim goggles may NOT be used.
To receive Red Cross certificate each participant must:
* Attend all classroom and skills training sessions.
* Demonstrate competency in all skills and activities
* Demonstrate competency in three final skill scenarios.
* Pass two multiple-choice written exams with a score of 80 percent
or higher.
WHAT TO BRING:
Face covering, goggles, towel, warm clothes to change into, a bag
lunch, snacks, and bottled water. We will be kneeling on the ground
for CPR practice so extra padding for your knees like a thick towel is
advised. We will have a 30-minute lunch break. NOTE: We will be
starting in the water so please arrive in your swimsuit ready to go.
OPTIONAL BLENDED LEARNING:
Blended learning combines online learning with in-person skills
sessions where you will practice skills and demonstrate competency.
THE ONLINE LEARNING MODULES ARE OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR
RECERTIFICATION PARTICIPANTS. The online learning CLASS IS A GREAT
TOOL TO HELP YOU BRUSH UP ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND COME PREPARED TO
CLASS. Additionally, participants that complete the optional online
learning only need to take one in-person exam at the end of the day
(the second exam is embedded in the CLASS). Most participants
complete the eLearning portion of the course in approximately 6-7
hours. It's recommended that you begin the online session as soon as
possible to ensure that you are able to complete all eLearning modules
prior to the first in-person skill session.

CLASS COST:
Recertification - $150
A minimum of three participants is required to run each CLASS. PRIOR
SWIMMING SKILLS ARE REQUIRED. Refunds will not be issued to
participants who do not pass the swim test or final written exams.
CLASS SAFETY:
Since lifeguard water rescue skills involve close physical proximity
and/or physical contact, there may be an elevated risk of disease
transmission, including COVID-19. By attending the class you
acknowledge that you are aware of the risks involved and give consent
to participate in the class. You will be required to sign a liability
release waiver prior to the start of class (this will be emailed to
you ahead of time). You also agree to have a face covering on at all
times except during water skills.
To keep everyone safe, every participant will have their temperature
checked prior to the start of class each day. You will be asked to
wash your hands frequently and maintain physical distancing of at
least 6 ft, (as much as reasonably possible). You will be asked the
following safety questions in order to be admitted to the class:
* Have you, or any member(s) of your household, been diagnosed with
the COVID-19 virus within the last 30 days?
* Have you had any of the following symptoms in the last 14 days:
Fever 101 F+, unexplained body aches or pain, coughing, sore throat,
shortness of breath, chills with or without body aches, recent loss of
sense of smell or taste, unexplained sores on soles of feet, unusual
fatigue, non-allergy related runny nose?
* Have you traveled outside of your area or attended any large
gatherings in the last 14 days?
IF YOU ANSWER "YES" TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS, OR IF YOU ARE UNWILLING
TO ABIDE BY THE SAFETY MEASURES, YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED TO TAKE THE
CLASS.
