Learn the basic fundamentals of lifeguarding through American Red Cross training.

The lifeguard training will consist of three in-person classes with an online training component required before the first in-person class. The online training information will be provided upon registration. Participants may be hired upon completion of the American Red Cross Lifeguarding Course.
