Red Cross Lifeguard Certification Course

Red Cross Lifeguard Certification Course

Find a job and a purpose as a lifeguard at the YMCA!

“Being a lifeguard isn’t just about saving lives; it’s about caring for people and creating an environment where they can ultimately thrive,” shares Lee Breth, YMCA Lifeguard.

If you are hired by the YMCA of Easley, Pickens, and Powdersville, all course fees will be waived!

Upon successful completion of the course, the participant will receive a 2 year American Red Cross lifeguarding and first aid certification. The participant will also receive a 2 year American Red Cross CPR and AED for lifeguard certification.

Participants must be 15 years old on or before the final scheduled session of the course.

Course Fees:

  • There is a $20 non-refundable fee if the pre-course is failed or the participant cancels after the pre-course. Consider practicing the Pre-Course Requirements before you register for the course!
  • If the participant does not pass the course, a refund will not be issued nor will there be discounts for another course.
  • As mentioned above, the YMCA of Easley, Pickens and Powdersville will cover the cost of the course for individuals who come to work for the YMCA! Contact your branch Aquatics Director for more information.
