Participants will develop proficiency in water rescue techniques, CPR, AED use, and first aid — and upon completion will also earn First Aid for Public Safety Personnel (Title 22) certification, meeting California Code of Regulations requirements for lifeguards, firefighters, peace officers, and other public safety professionals. Certification is valid for two years.

Prerequisites

Participants must be at least 15 years old and able to complete the following on the first day of class:

1. Jump in, submerge, resurface and swim 150 yards continuously, tread water for 2 minutes, and then swim 50 more yards. While swimming, you must keep your face in the water and demonstrate good breath control.
2. Complete a timed event within 1 minute, 40 seconds. Starting in the water, swim 20 yards. Your face may be in or out of the water. Swim goggles are not allowed. Surface dive (head-first or feet-first) to a depth of 7 to 10 feet to retrieve a 10-pound object.
