Lifeguard Certification
Earn your American Red Cross Lifeguard Certification right here on campus! Through a blended learning environment, course material will consist of online modules and in-person sessions.
Prior to the start of the course, attendees will be required to pass the swim test. The swim test consists of swimming 300 yards continuously; treading water for 2 minutes using only the legs; and completing a timed event within 1 minute and 40 seconds. The timed event consists of swimming 20 yards; surface diving to a depth of 7 feet to retrieve a 10-pound object; returning to the surface and swimming 20 yards to return to the starting point; and exiting the water without using steps or a ladder.
Participants must attend all class sections, successfully complete the final skills scenarios, and pass the written exam for certification. Certification is not guaranteed.
Once registered, you will receive an email from aquatics@cpp.edu to schedule a time for your swim test and be issued your online work. Please allow up to 72 hours to receive information from aquatics@cpp.edu regarding the next steps after registration.
