How do I become a certified lifeguard?
|
|
|
To become a lifeguard you must complete Red Cross lifeguard training/certification. This includes first aid, CPR/AED for the professional rescuer, and blood borne pathogens training. If you are a currently certified guard who needs to recertify, you must complete a challenge or review course.

I got certified last year. Do I have to recertify this year?
|
|
|
Yes. Sweetwater Pools requires all of it's employees to recertify through Sweetwater Pools every year. This includes lifeguarding, CPR-FPR, first aid, AED and bloodborne pathogens training. In order to make this more affordable, we discount this training for our employees.

Can I work at my neighborhood pool?
|
|
|
Working at your neighborhood pool depends on what restrictions your community's home owner’s association has enforced. Some HOA’s encourage their residents to be lifeguards while others do not. The Human Resources Department can tell you whether you can be a guard at your neighborhood pool.
