Lifeguard Instructor

Course Description

The purpose of the American Red Cross Lifeguarding Instructor course is to train instructor candidates to teach the basic-level courses and modules in the American Red Cross Lifeguarding program. 

Course Prerequisites
Instructor candidates must:
  • Be at least 17 years of age on or before the final day of training.
  • Possess a current basic-level certification in American Red Cross Lifeguarding (Including Deep Water) with CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers and First Aid. 
  • Obtain all required instructor and participant course materials before starting the course. 
  • Complete the online session of the Lifeguarding Instructor course before the precourse session. 
  • Successfully complete the prerequisite skill assessment scenario to continue in the course. 

Failure to meet any of the prerequisites prohibits an instructor candidate from continuing in the Instructor Course. The candidate must take the full Lifeguarding Instructor Course at a later date after they are able to meet all of the prerequisites.
