The American Red Cross has modified the Lifeguard Training course to minimize risk of exposure. However, due to the nature of the course, there will be training situations when participants will come in close contact with other participants. Below are some of the many safety precautions that will be observed throughout the training course.
- Face coverings will be worn at all times unless in the water.
- Social distance will be observed. When social distance is not possible, face coverings and/or additional personal protective equipment will be worn.
- Training manikins will be used whenever possible to promote social distancing.
- Equipment will be labeled and assigned to participants for use throughout the course.
- Class size has been reduced and participants will be assigned into smaller groups.
- Hand washing facilities and hand sanitizer will be readily available.
- All participants will be required to pass a health screening prior to the start of each class session.
