The American Red Cross Certification is a comprehensive course that includes complete CPR/First Aid/AED Training. Practical hands-on training, in conjunction with scenario based training, provides for an experiential training content. When practicing rescue skills for an unconscious Guest in Distress, not only are we practicing water skills, but also implementing AR/CPR/UNCONSCIOUS CHOKING, First Aid skills, and AED use, all in a single scenario based emergency simulation. All of the skills are integrated. CPR/First Aid/AED/ are not strictly classroom based. The textbook information is covered in a classroom setting, however, these skills are then integrated and practiced repeatedly, in scenario based simulated emergencies. These simulated events are never the same; all elements of the skill base must be utilized in order to be successful, and lifeguards must complete given tactile, hands-on, practice with simulated events and real people.

Blended learning (Online training) with in-person test out. Online training will be sent via email upon registration and must be 100% complete to attend the in-person training.
