COVID-19 Protocols:

A couple of things to put your mind at ease as you start to come back into the classroom setting:

LIFEGUARD COURSES:

Cleaning protocols have been increased
Equipment will be individualized as much as possible (mannequins, AED trainers, etc.)
Due to the nature of the Lifeguarding courses, there will be minimal contact required with other participants.
- For Lifeguard/Lifesaving procedures (Spinals, Unresponsive, etc) we will be using submersible mannequins where possible
- For physical standards required to be done on another person we will be teaching protocols to minimize risk - We will be switching to mannequins as soon as we are on the pool deck
All instructors are trained in updated COVID protocols

FIRST AID COURSES:

You will be set up with your own personal learning station (2m distance from the other stations)
Cleaning protocols have been increased
Equipment will not be shared amongst participants
Any skills involving partner work will be minimized, but when that is not possible, masks and gloves will be required to be worn.

Lifeguard Courses

National Lifeguard Waterpark Option

The National Lifeguard Waterpark course, offered by the Lifesaving Society, is designed to prepare lifeguards for effective supervision in waterpark environments. Building upon the foundational skills developed in the National Lifeguard Pool certification, this course focuses on the unique challenges and features of waterparks, such as slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers. Candidates will learn specialized lifeguarding techniques, including safe entry and removal methods, effective scanning and observation, and appropriate rescue procedures for various waterpark attractions. The course also emphasizes team coordination, communication, and the management of aquatic emergencies in a dynamic setting. The course comprises both classroom and water activities, requiring 100% attendance and participation. Successful completion of the course awards candidates the National Lifeguard Waterpark certification, valid for two years. This certification is recognized across Canada and is a prerequisite for employment in waterpark lifeguarding positions.

This course requires 100% attendance. Missing any portion of the course will require the student to take the course again as per LSS.

Prerequisites: National Lifeguard Pool certification (need not be current)
