You can learn lifesaving skills while obtaining your lifeguard certification from the Door County YMCA later this month. Aquatics Director Heidi Honold says the four-day lifeguarding class provides cutting-edge CPR training and water rescue equipment from American Red Cross Lifeguard instructors at the poolside. She shares how the class teaches about 26 rescues and first aid scenarios.
The Door County YMCA Lifeguard Certification Class will be held October 24-27 and requires attendance at all classes and passing a swim test. The class is from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 24, and Friday, October 25, and from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 26, and Sunday, October 27.
A Lifeguard Recertification Class is scheduled for November 16 from 7:00 am. until 5 p.m. You can schedule for either program by calling the Door County YMCA in Sturgeon Bay or Fish Creek.
