How old do you have to be to become a life guard?

How can I become a life guard?

  • Hello, I am 17 years old and live in Toronto Canada. I am in pretty good shape, and I consider myself to be a strong swimmer. I was on my school swim team for two years and really enjoyed the sport. Recently, I been having thoughts about becoming a life guard. However, I have never taken any swimming lessons in my life. I am confused on how to becoming a life guard. Is there simply a course I can take to obtain a certificate?

  • Answer:

    In Canada you need NLS certification: http://www.lifesaving.ca/main.php?lang=english&cat=programs&sub=lifeguard It's not a simple course but you sound like you could pass it.

Try your local YMCA. They provide classes to get your life guard license. If you don't have a YMCA in your area then try to google a place in your area where they provide getting a valid life guard license. I hope I helped.
