lifesaver
This program is designed to give advanced swimmers the foundation of lifeguarding.  participants will learn the skills required to be a lifeguard through hands on practice.  Classes will focus on fitness, professionalism, emergency response and accident prevention.  participants must be able to swim the length of the pool continuously, tread water for one minute and swim submerged for 10 feet.  Guard Start meets for eight classes Monday through Thursday.  Fridays are used for make-ups.

This IS NOT a lifeguard, CPR/AED or First Aid certification course.

In the event a class is cancelled we will notify participants via e-mail.  If we do not contact you, assume the class is running.  We will use Fridays for make-up classes which are cancelled by VPR.  Refunds/Credits are not provided for missing a scheduled class.

Classes must reach a minimum of four participants to run.  The registration deadline is Wednesday prior to the first day of class.  If your class does not reach minimum participation you will be notified on the Thursday prior to the first class and a full refund will be provided.

Refunds/Transfers:
Full refunds are only granted for medical reasons, upon receipt of a doctor's note.  No refunds or transfers are made once a program session has started.  There is a $5.00 charge for any cancellations or transfers you make between programs prior to the start of the program.  If the Parks and Recreation Department cancels a program, a full refund will be issued.

* Adjustments and discounts will be applied during checkout if applicable. *
