Lifesaving Courses - Steps to Become a Lifeguard:

UPCOMING LIFEGUARD COURSE:

STEP 2: INTERMEDIATE FIRST AID & STEP 3: BRONZE CROSS

Prerequisite: Completion of the Lifesaving Society's Bronze Medallion / CPR-C.

Intermediate First Aid CPR-C and AED provides comprehensive training covering all aspects of first aid and CPR. The course is for those who want an in-depth understanding of first aid such as medical/legal aspects, spinal injuries, environmental injuries, bone and joint injuries, abdominal and chest injuries, burns, and medical emergencies. The course includes CPR-C and AED certification. There is no prerequisite for this course.

Bronze Cross begins the transition from lifesaving to lifeguarding and prepares candidates for responsibilities as assistant lifeguards. Candidates strengthen and expand their lifesaving skills and begin to apply the principles and techniques of active surveillance in aquatic facilities. Bronze Cross emphasizes the importance of teamwork and communication in preventing and responding to aquatic emergencies. The prerequisites for Bronze Cross include previous completion of Bronze Medallion and a current Alberta workplace approved Standard First Aid certification (Standard First Aid CPR-C and AED is sufficient to meet this prerequisite).
