Lifeguard Recertification




The Lifeguarding review class is designed to help you update your skills while also extending your certification for another two years. The Red Cross also offers review courses, for those whose certification is still valid (or within 30 days of expiring) while allowing you to continue to work without a lapse in verification.


Recertification



Our class offers a traditional classroom setting for those who wish to recertify. This course is a review for individuals who are currently certified as lifeguards and wish to revisit the material before taking re-certification exams. It covers the necessary Lifeguard Training course material as well as the practical skills in the classroom and includes swimming drills in the pool. This class is an excellent review prior to exam certification. For information on other American Red Cross lifeguarding recertification courses in the surrounding area, please use the Lifeguarding Find a Class Tool.
