The Triangle Red Cross Offers Lifeguard Training!
Lifeguards are in demand and make good money during the summer. Lifeguarding has many benefits now and in the future. It not only gives you the training you need to start earning money soon; you also gain valuable experience you can include on your college and future job applications. As a trained and certified lifeguard you will have many of the skill colleges and employers are looking for in an applicant.
During your training to become a lifeguard you will learn: first aid training and professional rescuer CPR; techniques to rescue someone on land and in the water; how to recognize and prevent injuries; ways to handle tough situations and how to work as part of a team; and important decision-making and leadership skills.
Lifeguarding is an important job that fills a vital need in the community. It is a job with many benefits but it also has a lot of responsibility. Lifeguards are responsible for the safety and well-being of everyone in and around the water. A lifeguard never knows when he or she may have to use the skills they learned during training to save a life.
To become a lifeguard you must be at least 15 yrs old, have strong swimming skills and be able to successfully complete all course requirements.
