Swimming Instruction and Water Safety
Designed with the help of United States Swimming and other experts, the program makes learning easy! Students benefit from the latest research on instructional techniques. Contact your local swim facility or the Connecticut Regional Chapter of the American Red Cross to find programs in your area.
Lifeguard Training
Are you 15 years of age or older and looking for a great summer job or a challenging career? Lifeguarding lets you work as part of a team to help people safely enjoy the water. You could even save a life! The American Red Cross Lifeguard Training course is a great place to start.
Lifeguarding will help you develop skills and experience that will be valued by colleges and future employers. You'll earn the respect of your peers because you'll be making a difference to others and yourself. Colleges and employers look for applicants who can deal effectively with people, who have a take charge attitude and who are willing to work to develop new skills.
If you're not yet 15 but are interested in becoming a lifeguard in the future, “GuardStart: Lifeguarding Tomorrow” is for you. For information on GuardStart or to find a course, contact us.
