Lifeguarding Course Description - New 2024 Syllabus

Lifeguards protect their community by preventing, recognizing, and responding to water-related emergencies. In order to get a job at most facilities, you need to become certified, and most employers look for American Red Cross Certification.

Obtain your 2-year certification by taking a lifeguarding course from the American Red Cross. Courses take approximately 32 hours to complete and include web-based learning, classroom instruction and in-water skills development.

The purpose of the American Red Cross Lifeguarding course is to provide entry-level lifeguard participants with the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize and respond to aquatic emergencies and to provide care for breathing and cardiac emergencies, injuries and sudden illnesses until emergency medical services (EMS) personnel take over.

The web-based learning format allows students to re-watch videos and review course material as often as needed. This provides a better opportunity for success.

Most Lifeguarding courses only offer the basic Red Cross Lifeguarding certification. Included in the cost of our course is certification in Red Cross Lifeguarding, Waterfront Lifeguarding, Waterpark Lifeguarding and Administering Emergency Oxygen. Taken separately, these 4 certifications would cost $700.00. We maintain a smaller instructor to student ratio to provide more personalized instruction to the students. Our syllabus includes additional time for in-water skills practice, resulting in better trained lifeguards.

WHY DO OUR CLASSES COST MORE? Four Red Cross certifications, 5 extra hours included to practice skills, fewer students per instructor, instructors have decades of teaching experience, highest quality training offered in Idaho.
