Lifeguarding and Administering Emergency Oxygen Recertification - BL
THIS IS THE UPDATED r.24 AMERICAN RED CROSS LIFEGUARDING COURSE.
The course will be held at the NSU Aquatics Institute in Davie, FL on April 22 and April 24, 2024. The Monday session will be from 5pm -10pmand Wednesday will be from 3pm - 10pm.
The Lifeguarding Recertification course is designed to refresh your knowledge and skills. Upon successful completion, you will renew your certification for another two years.
The latest blended learning course, r.24 that includes online + in-person skill demonstration, features adaptive learning, where participants can test out of the online content they already know, allowing participants to ensure they are prepared. The result is a custom learning path for each student in the online portion of the blended learning recertification course. This must be completed prior to the start of the first in-person session; students who do not complete the online portion before will not be admitted into the remainder of the course, thus they will be ineligible to earn their recertification. This will be considered as an incompletion.
To participate in the Lifeguarding Recertification class you must have a current American Red Cross Lifeguarding certification, and certification expired by no more than 30 days.
All lifeguarding recertification participants must complete the required swimming skills prerequisite prior to taking the course. The prerequisite skills assessments include a swim-tread-swim and a timed event sequence.
Throughout the course, participants will learn and be evaluated on knowledge and skills related to lifeguarding, water rescues, extrications, CPR and AED and First Aid.
In addition, at the conclusion of the course, participants must successfully complete 3 final skills assessments:
Rotate in-conduct surveillance – rotate out
Timed Single-rescuer CPR Scenario
Multiple Rescuer Response Scenario
Participants are required to take one final written exam consisting of 50 questions and score a minimum of 80%.
Participants who successfully complete the Lifeguarding certification course will be issued one of the following certifications depending on the Lifeguarding course completed. For example, participants that successfully complete the Lifeguarding (including Deep Water) with CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers and First Aid and Administering Emergency Oxygen, will be issued a certification valid for 2 years.
