Our Commitment to You

Course Description:

StarGuard’s lifeguard training requires participants to complete an online, blended learning course and a two-day in-person course both with classroom and water training.

This Lifeguard Certification Course provides entry-level lifeguard participants with the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize, and respond to aquatic emergencies and care for breathing and cardiac emergencies, injuries, and sudden illnesses until emergency medical services (EMS) personnel take over.

Our courses are designed and taught by industry-leading professionals who are motivated to help prepare you for the many incidents that can arise simultaneously in, on, and around the water. This is done as we progress through the coursework as a class, in small groups, and, when necessary, in one-on-one training with your certified instructor.

Course Cost: $345
