This course follows the strict guidelines of the American Red Cross. Our instructors are required to follow these guidelines at all times. Participation in this class does not guarantee certification.

A link to the online portion of the class is emailed two weeks before class and the estimated completion time is 7 hours. Proof of completion of the online course must be turned in to Jamie DeCarlo (jdecarlo@ dublin.oh.us) no later than the first day of class. Refund Policy: A cancellation request form must be submitted to the front desk of the DCRC at least 7 business days before the first day of the class for a refund of fees paid minus a $15 administrative fee.

Prerequisite Test: To be eligible to participate in the Lifeguarding Course, each participant will be confirmed or tested on the following prerequisite items on the first day of class: 1. Be the minimum age of 15 by the final day of class (proof of age must be brought to the first class). 2. Jump in the water from the side, totally submerge, recover to the surface and swim 150 yards. After swimming 150 yards, maintain position at the water’s surface without support for 2 minutes by treading using only your legs (arms must be tucked under armpits and head must remain above the water’s surface). After maintaining a position at the water’s surface for 2 minutes, swim 50 more yards. While swimming, you must swim continuously, keeping your face in the water and demonstrating good breath control. You may use front crawl, breaststroke, or a combination of both. Swimming on the back or side is not permitted. Swim goggles are allowed for this part of the pre-requisites. 3. Starting in the water, swim 20 yards using front crawl or breaststroke, surface-dive to a depth of 7-10 feet, retrieve a 10-pound object, and return to the starting point with the object and exit the water without using a ladder or steps. This specific test must be completed in its entirety within 1 minute and 40 seconds. Note: When returning to the starting point, each participant must be able to hold the 10-pound object with both hands, placing it on their chest and keeping their face above water. Each participant must exit the water using their own strength (participants may NOT use goggles during this skill).
