Interested in becoming certified as a Lifeguard, or learning how to provide lifesaving care through CPR/AED certifications? At the YMCA, we strongly believe that acquiring the skills in order to provide care or to save a life are important life-long skills. Through our various certification courses, individuals will receive the most up-to-date training available for that certification course in a classroom setting, while also working on the applicable hands-on skills.

At the YMCA, we offer the following certifications:

• American Red Cross Lifeguard
• American Red Cross CPR/First Aid

All of our certification courses have a blended-learning component which requires additional work on a computer in order to receive certification. This work will be emailed to class participants at least one week prior to the in-person session. Online class work is expected to be completed before the date of the in-person class.
