The
Vancouver Park Board’s annual Lifeguard School begins January 8 at the
Vancouver Aquatic Centre. The program provides lifeguard certification
and recertification to
update qualifications.
Now
in its 77th year, the school provides comprehensive training for
prospective and returning lifeguards interested in summer employment at
Vancouver’s nine beaches
and all indoor and outdoor pools.
The
school is open to those with their Lifesaving Society's Bronze
Medallion as well as qualified lifeguards. Lifeguard School graduates
get priority consideration for
jobs at Vancouver’s swimming pools and beaches. The training also
qualifies participants to lifeguard anywhere in Canada.
Instructors
with the Lifeguard School have a vast knowledge of lifeguard
experiences and are professional educators in the fields of emergency
services, first aid and
aquatic administration.
