During one of the workshops, work out with a certified lifeguard and get an idea of what it is like to be a lifeguard.
Discuss and receive advice on how to train for and pass the lifeguard pre-test.
You may take the pre-test during the workshop.
The pre-test consists of:
1. A 50-meter swim using front crawl or breaststroke (or a combination of both) without touching the bottom or sides of the pool. Then, maintain position at the surface of the water for two minutes by treading water using only your legs, floating or both. And finally, a 50-meter swim using front crawl or breaststroke (or a combination of both) without touching the the bottom or sides of the pool.
2. A timed event within 50 seconds: Start in the water and swim 20 meters with no goggles. Submerge to the bottom of the pool to retrieve a 10-pound brick. Return to the surface to swim or walk holding the brick with both hands. Exit the water without using steps or ladder.
- For patrons 15 years and older.
- The workshop is free, but registration is required.
