American Red Cross Junior Lifeguarding gives students an introduction to the skills learned in the full version of the Lifeguard Course. Students will learn good decision-making skills, communication, team work, and improved endurance in the water. This course is a perfect way to add variety to the summer for those who love the swimming and want to learn more about water safety and what it takes to be a lifeguard. Students must be able to swim front crawl for 25 yards using rotary breathing, swim the breaststroke 25 yards, and complete a Water Competency Sequence that includes treading water, floating, and swimming 25 yards on the front or back. This class will not certify anyone in Lifeguarding or CPR, but certificates of completion will be issued for the class.
