Lifeguard Certification Training Course (Atlanta, GA)

Lifeguard Certification Training Course

Being a lifeguard is a fun and rewarding experience. As a lifeguard you will primarily be responsible for the safety and of each person that patronizes your aquatic facility. Each day on the job presents you with new situations and challenges and no workday is ever the same. Guards must always be prepared to react to a situation at a moments notice. We are proud to have partnered with the American Red Cross to provide local aquatic safety training in the Atlanta area. As an American Red Cross training provider our lifeguard training courses are open to everyone. Currently we offer lifeguard training certification and lifeguard re-certification classes. Lifeguard certification courses are for individuals who have never taken a lifeguard certification class before. If you are already a certified lifeguard and need to renew your certification we offer re-certification classes. Only individuals who have never held a lifeguard position before or who do not currently have a valid lifeguard certification are eligible for this particular class. All candidates must at least meet the minimum requirements. This training course is open to everyone.
