Lifeguard Training – May

In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic we plan to move forward with the virtual learning portion of the Lifeguarding Course.  To minimize social interaction we will send the online course work via email upon registration.  You will have two weeks to complete the online course work and send proof of completion.  When conditions allow us to move forward we will schedule the in water skills.
