This course builds on your existing Lifeguarding certification and provides you with the critical skills and knowledge necessary to prevent, recognize, and respond to emergencies in non-surf, open-water settings. It includes all core lifeguarding certifications along with the Waterfront Skills Module, ensuring you’re fully equipped to respond in both traditional pools and open-water areas like those found at public parks, resorts, summer camps, and campgrounds.

What You’ll Learn:

• Effective surveillance techniques for waterfront environments

• How to perform rescues in shallow and deep open-water settings

• Procedures for handling injuries, sudden illnesses, and breathing or cardiac emergencies
