ARC Lifeguard Certification

Lifeguarding is a challenging, rewarding and important job.  This American Red Cross Course will provide participants with a professional certification recognized at most organizations across the country.  The course and the job require hard work, determination and above-average maturity.  You will gain confidence, improve decision-making and build customer service skills.

Students must be 15 years old by the last day of class.  Not just for youth – we’d love to train adults as well!
