LG+W Lifeguarding plus Waterfront Module

Life-threatening aquatic emergencies often happen on the lake front. It is imperative that staff are trained to meet these unique challenges in a similar environment in which they will be working. Typical LG courses do not address the unique
environmental factors associated with guarding and managing a waterfront on a natural body of water. This course
provides a complete skills instruction package incorporating equipment-based rescues, spinal injury management,
post-rescue care, First Aid and CPR training. Participants receive multiple certifications: LIFEGUARDING + WATERFRONT INCLUDING FIRST-AID & CPR (Valid for 3 years).
