We offer American Red Cross Lifeguard and Swim Instructor Training Courses with support from the American Red Cross Centennial Program.
Lifeguard Training
Learn how to save lives and prevent injuries around water with Red Cross Lifeguard Training. This course is designed to arm you with the skills and knowledge to prepare you for a variety of scenarios in and around the water. Our detailed training includes both testing of hands-on skills as well as comprehension on written tests. The certification, which includes First Aid, CPR and AED training, is valid for two years upon completion and is accepted nationwide.
If you are interested in becoming a lifeguard, but are not able to attend listed classes (or we do not have any classes listed), complete our interest survey or email ykfc@cityofbethel.net.
Swim Instructor Training
Earn your certification to teach American Red Cross swimming and water safety, and gain the skills needed to teach courses and make presentations to swimmers of every age and ability. You can help recreational swimmers meet their goals, refine their skills and stay safe in, on, and around water.
