Marin Co. LGT One Day Review class | Scott Valley Swim and Tennis Club

Details

Get re-certified as a Red Cross Lifeguard in the Marin Co. LGT One Day Review class. This condensed 1-day course takes place at the Scott Valley Swim and Tennis Club in Mill Valley, CA. The venue offers a heated pool for a comfortable learning experience. To participate, attendees must have a current Red Cross Lifeguard certification and be prepared to show it to the instructor upon arrival. Enrollment for the course closes once it reaches capacity, so it's recommended to secure your spot early. To make the most of the intensive day, it is advised to watch the class review videos and complete online exercises beforehand. The class may run from 8 am to 8:00 pm, with the possibility of concluding earlier or later. If transportation is needed, participants should be prepared to text or call for arrangements. It's important to note that registration for the course does not guarantee a Lifeguard Certification. To obtain certification, participants must pass the pre-requisite swim tests, exams (80% or higher), and demonstrate proficiency in CPR and water scenarios. The course emphasizes the importance of preparedness and hard work to ensure the safety of those who rely on lifeguards. Prerequisites for the class include being at least 17 years old by the last day of the course and passing three swim tests according to Red Cross requirements. These tests include swimming 300 yards breaststroke and freestyle without stopping, treading water with only the legs for 2 minutes, and completing a timed weight-retrieval drill. Course tuition fees are non-refundable if participants do not pass the swim pre-tests. It is highly recommended to practice beforehand until confident in passing. For any questions, contact the organizer at hayleychurch@cookseyswim.com. Please note that a 100% refund is available up to 7 days before the first class start date. No refunds will be given within 7 days of the training. If participants fail to show up to the training or do not meet the requirements, pass the tests, or complete the training, no refunds will be issued. Remember to bring your current lifeguard certification (digital is acceptable), a competitive style swimsuit, snacks/lunch, water, sun protection, towels, and extra clothing and layers, especially during colder months.
