ARC Lifeguard & CPR Training

Service Description

Offering a stress free environment for students to obtain their American Red Cross certification. The r.24 Lifeguarding program prepares lifeguards to prevent, protect and respond to aquatic emergencies. Our nationally accepted curriculum has been refreshed with modernized tools and includes more active hands-on learning. This revitalized program aligns with the most current scientific insights and best practices, validated by the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council. Red Cross lifeguarding students must be at least 15 years old by the last day of class and pass a swimming skills test. Once students are enrolled, they'll receive the latest science-based training from experienced instructors and develop skills they'll use for a lifetime. Flexible training courses are available in person or via blended learning, which combines online coursework with in-person skills sessions. In addition to full courses, lifeguarding review courses (abbreviated recertification courses) are also available for those who hold current lifeguarding certifications or certification expired by no more than 30 days. Most training supplies or manuals needed to teach the courses can easily be found on the Red Cross Store. Courses & Certification All lifeguarding participants must complete the required swimming skills prerequisite prior to taking the course. The prerequisite skills assessments include a swim-tread-swim and a timed event sequence. Throughout the course, participants will learn and be evaluated on knowledge and skills related to lifeguarding, water rescues, extrications, CPR and AED and First Aid. In addition, at the conclusion of the course, participants must successfully complete 3 final skills assessments: Rotate in-conduct surveillance – rotate out Timed Single-rescuer CPR Scenario Multiple Rescuer Response Scenario Participants are required to take one final written exam consisting of 50 questions and score a minimum of 80%.
