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

Bronze Cross

The Lifesaving Society’s Bronze Cross course marks the transition from lifesaving to lifeguarding, preparing candidates for assistant lifeguard responsibilities. Designed for individuals holding a Bronze Medallion certification, this course emphasizes the application of active surveillance techniques in aquatic facilities. Participants will enhance their lifesaving skills, focusing on teamwork and communication to effectively prevent and respond to aquatic emergencies. The course includes practical training in two-rescuer rescues, spinal injury management, and endurance challenges, such as a 400-meter swim to be completed within 11 minutes. The course comprises both classroom and water activities, requiring 100% attendance and participation. Successful candidates will receive a Bronze Cross medal, award crest, and certification card. Completion of this course is a prerequisite for advanced training in the Society’s National Lifeguard and leadership certification programs.

**Successful completion of this course is worth TWO (2) Grade 11 Credits**

Prerequisites: Bronze Medallion certification (need not be current)
