(Leavenworth, Kan.)鈥�Lifeguarding classes are being offered by the American Red Cross and the 花椒直播 starting
on Wednesday, Aug. 23, at Berchmans Hall indoor heated pool (USM main campus at 4100
South 4th Street in Leavenworth). Classes run for 10 weeks from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays.
Lifeguarding candidates must be at least 15 years old by the courses end date and
must pass a prerequisite test that includes a 300-yard continuous swim.
The comprehensive training program will teach lifeguards the skills needed to prepare
for and respond appropriately to drowning victims. It also teaches the skills to prevent
injuries, respond to injuries and breathing or cardiac emergencies, as well as first
aid and professional rescuer CPR/AED training.
Lifeguarding is one of many courses in USM's College for High School Program. For
a fee, students can earn both high school and college credit for the same course,
or can enroll in a non-credit course.
