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.

Recertification Courses

NL Pool/Waterpark Combo Recert

The National Lifeguard Pool & Waterpark Combo Recertification Course is designed for current or recently expired National Lifeguard (NL) holders who need to renew both their Pool and Waterpark certifications. This one-day, evaluation-based course assesses participants on the required lifeguarding skills, knowledge, and fitness standards needed to maintain their NL status in both environments. Lifeguards will be tested on their ability to perform rescues, manage spinal injuries, demonstrate effective scanning and supervision techniques, and respond to emergencies in both pool and waterpark settings. Fitness standards, first aid proficiency, and teamwork in aquatic emergency scenarios will also be evaluated. No instruction will be provided—this course is for assessment purposes only. Successful candidates will earn renewed certification in both NL Pool and NL Waterpark, ensuring they remain qualified to work in aquatic facilities across Canada.

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