  Please make sure to bring warm clothing or a swim parka for after the lesson as well as goggles and a cap (if your child tends to chill easily or has long hair). It is recommended that swimmers apply sunscreen at home so there is ample time for it to absorb and be most effective against UV exposure.

  
  Parents and swimmers must arrive 15 minutes early to get checked in and changed. Parents are required to remain at the pool during your child's lessons. Lessons will end at the scheduled time regardless of the swimmer’s arrival time.

  JUNIOR LIFEGUARDING (for participants aged 11-14)

  This course will teach water safety and introduce participants to the duties and responsibilities of a lifeguard; however, this course will not certify anyone to be a lifeguard. It will build a foundation of knowledge, attitudes and skills in preparation for the American Red Cross Lifeguarding course.

  Successful completion requires participation in skills practice. The practice sessions will require some strenuous physical activity. You are encouraged to check with your family health-care professional before participating in the practice sessions. If a medical condition or disability exists that might prevent participation in the activities, or if there are questions about fully participating in Junior Lifeguarding, please contact me to discuss this before the program begins.

  To participate in Junior Lifeguarding, the following skills must be demonstrated:

  ■   Step into water from the side and totally submerge.

  ■   Maintain position for one minute by treading water or floating (or a combination of the two).

  ■    Rotate one full turn and orient to the exit.

  ■    Level off and swim on the front or back 25 yards.

  ■    Exit without using a ladder or steps.

   

  LIFEGUARDING: (for participants 15 and older)

  The purpose of the American Red Cross Lifeguarding course is to provide participants with the

  knowledge and skills needed to:

   

  ■ Prevent, recognize and respond to aquatic emergencies in both shallow water (less than 7 feet) and

  deeper water (7 feet or more).

  ■ Provide professional-level care for breathing and cardiac emergencies, injuries and sudden illnesses

  until emergency medical services (EMS) professionals take over.

  To enroll in the Lifeguarding course, you must be at least 15 years old before the last scheduled

  class session. To participate in the course, you must be able to pass a prerequisite swimming skills

  evaluation, which includes two parts and takes place during the first class session.

   

  Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive an American Red Cross certificate for Lifeguarding (Including Deep Water) with CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers and First Aid, valid for 2 years.
