PE 146 American Red Cross Lifeguarding
The primary purpose of the American Red Cross Lifeguarding course is to provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed to: (1) Prevent, recognize and respond to aquatic emergencies; (2) Provide professional-level care for breathing and cardiac emergencies, injuries, and sudden illnesses until emergency medical services (EMS) professionals take over. Lifeguarding (Including Deep Water) training is conducted and evaluated in water depths ranging from 4 feet to water 7 feet and greater (ranging from 8-12 feet maximum).
To participate in the Lifeguarding (Including Deep Water) course, participants must successfully complete the two prerequisite swimming skills evaluations:
-
Prerequisite 1: Complete a 150-yd swim/2 minute tread/50-yd swim sequence (using front crawl and breaststroke) without stopping to rest; the 2 minutes of treading water at the surface must be performed using only legs;
-
Prerequisite 2: Complete a timed event within 1 minute, 40 seconds that involves swimming 20-yards to retrieve a submerged 10-pound object (in approximately 10 feet of water), swimming back to the starting point with the object held in both hands at the surface and exiting the water with the object without using a ladder or steps.
Repeatable: This course is repeatable.
Certification: Participants who successfully complete the Lifeguarding course (pass the final skill assessments and written Lifeguarding test), will be issued the following American Red Cross certificate:
Lifeguarding (Including Deep Water) with CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers and First Aid that is valid for 2 years.
NOTE: The 2025 certification fee for the American Red Cross Lifeguarding course is $47. Students will be responsible for paying this fee after they successfully complete the certification requirements for the course.
P.E. Credit: Students who do not pass the final skill assessments and written Lifeguarding test (or who choose not to take the written test) and who have fulfilled the class attendance and participation requirements, are still able to earn PE credit AND do not pay the certification fee.
