Lifeguard Prep Class
We also offer a LG prep class for those who don't swim on a regular basis and are worried they will not be able to complete the pre-requisites. The class will meet 6 times at 7:00pm for 45 minutes; the coach will help with the technique and endurance needed to pass the pre-req.
Cost:
$50
