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

Standard First Aid CPR C/AED Recert

The Canadian Red Cross Standard First Aid Recertification Course is designed for individuals seeking to renew their Standard First Aid, CPR Level C, and AED certification. This one-day, evaluation-based course focuses on reinforcing essential skills and knowledge to ensure participants are prepared to respond effectively in emergency situations. The course covers a comprehensive range of topics, including airway emergencies, breathing and circulation emergencies, wound care, head and spine injuries, bone, muscle and joint injuries, sudden medical emergencies, environmental emergencies, and opioid poisoning awareness. Participants will be assessed on their ability to demonstrate critical skills and perform necessary interventions. To be eligible for recertification, participants must have a current certification from a recognized agency. This course is for recertification purposes only, and no formal instruction will be provided. Upon successful completion, participants will receive a 3-year certification in Standard First Aid & CPR Level C/AED, which meets the requirements of provincial and territorial worker safety and insurance boards for Intermediate level.
