Upcoming Lifeguard & CPR Trainings
Lifeguard Training – American Red Cross
The American Red Cross Certification is a comprehensive course that
includes complete CPR/First Aid/AED Training. Practical hands-on
training, in conjunction with scenario based training, provides for
an experiential training content. When practicing rescue skills for
an unconscious Guest in Distress, not only are we practicing water
skills, but also implementing AR/CPR/UNCONSCIOUS CHOKING, First Aid
skills, Oxygen and AED use, all in a single scenario based
emergency simulation. All of the skills are integrated. CPR/First
Aid/AED/ are not strictly classroom based. The textbook information
is covered in a classroom setting, however, these skills are then
integrated and practiced repeatedly, in scenario based simulated
emergencies. These simulated events are never the same; all
elements of the skill base must be utilized in order to be
successful, and lifeguards must complete given tactile, hands-on,
practice with simulated events and real people.
Blended learning (Online training) with in-person test out. Online training will be sent via email upon registration and must be 100% complete to attend the in-person training.
