Lifeguard Certification

For those candidates who are new to our organization or those employees returning, we offer training and certification programs to ensure you are prepared for your job as a lifeguard or pool manager. These programs follow the nationally recognized StarGuard Elite Lifeguard Training curriculum. Details of our Lifeguard Certification & Recertification courses are provided below. To register for either of the courses below, please follow the link at the bottom of the page.

Classes are open to employees only and are ultimately free of charge to anyone who fullfills our summer work agreement. This agreement includes working an average of 15 hours (3 shifts) a week for the agreed amount of weeks during the summer pool season. You will be reimbursed at the end of the summer pool season. Please register online in the store for your chosen class dates and call for further details.
