Course description

StarGuard’s Lifeguard Blended Learning course requires participants to complete an online component and (2) day in-person course, both with classroom and water training.

This Lifeguard Certification Course provides entry-level lifeguard participants (or Lifeguards with previous certification through American Red Cross, YMCA, or Ellis and Associates) with the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize, and respond to aquatic emergencies and care for breathing and cardiac emergencies, injuries, and sudden illnesses until emergency medical services (EMS) personnel take over.
