Prior to registration, participants must perform and successfully complete the prerequisite skills to become candidates for the course. This includes 2 tests:
It is the responsibility of the participant to arrive and complete these prerequisite tests before the registration date closes. Once these tests are concluded and a participant is deemed successful, they are a candidate for the course and may register via our front desk on that day.

The Blended Learning section must be completed before the first day of the course, and verification via email proof will be required.

The purpose of the American Red Cross Lifeguarding Recertification course is to provide participants with the opportunity to review the course knowledge and skills within a formal course setting in order to maintain their American Red Cross Lifeguarding certification. To enroll in the Lifeguarding Recertification course, you must have a current certification or a certification expired by no more than 30 days for American Red Cross Lifeguarding (Including Deep Water) with CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers and First Aid. To participate in the recertification course, you must be able to pass a prerequisite swimming skills evaluation, which includes two parts and takes place during the first in-person session.
This course follows a blended learning model, which combines online coursework (16 modules) with in-person sessions. You will receive this once class registration closes, and the online learning must be completed before the first in-person session day. You must provide proof that you completed this by one of the following methods: 1) Print your module completion record at the conclusion of each module and bring it to the in-person session. 2) Provide the verification of completion email that will be sent by American Red Cross upon successful completion of the online learning.
All other information such as the class agenda and what to bring and do to be successful will be given after class registration closes. All other questions or concerns about the course can be addressed to the Assistant Aquatics Director Anna Kuehne at akuehne@ymcabaycity.org
