If you're 15 or older and looking for a great summer or year-round job that's in high demand, the American Red Cross Lifeguard Training that the YMCA offers is the best place to start. Lifeguarding lets you work as part of a team to help people safely enjoy the water. You could even save a life!
Learning is fun and easy! Through videos, group discussion and hands-on practice, you'll learn:
Rescue skills for use in the water and on land
First aid and professional rescuer CPR/AED training to help you prepare for any emergency
Professional lifeguard responsiblities
Surveillance skills to help you recognize and prevent injuries
