How should I prepare for Lifeguard Training?

Red Cross lifeguard training?

• When would be the best time to join a red cross lifeguard training? How much is the average fee to enter a lifeguard course? is there any chances for me to succeed? Im really interested to be a beach lifeguard and i'm really close to the beach. I'm 15, high school student, currently on swimming class. I appreciate for those that was a lifeguard

• Answer:

  I don't know where you live, but if it is in or near a decent-sized city you can phone the local American Red Cross chapter and ask for Safety Services. They should have a list of the lifeguard courses that are scheduled in your area and they can tell you when and where those classes will occur so you can pick one to attend. You should be a good swimmer and in reasonably good physical shape, since some physical strength is required. But if you are interested, by all means call the ARC and inquire about upcoming lifeguard classes. They will assist you in finding a lifeguard class. Good luck!
