Our lifeguarding program equips lifeguards with the knowledge to prevent, protect, and respond effectively to aquatic emergencies. This course is designed for individuals who hold a current American Red Cross Lifeguarding Certification or those whose certifications have expired within the last 30 days. Participants must pass a prerequisite swimming skills evaluation at the beginning of class to continue training. Upon successful completion, participants will receive an American Red Cross certificate for Lifeguarding (including Deep Water), along with CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers and First Aid, valid for 2 years. Per Massachusetts law, lifeguards must be at least 16 years old to work in the role.
