Guard Start: Lifeguard Tomorrow

 Do you want to be a lifeguard but you are not old enough?

The American Red Cross Guard Start: Lifeguarding Tomorrow program is available to youth ages 11 - 15 years old who have the desire to learn about the responsibilities and duties of a lifeguard. This program will help your child build a foundation of knowledge, attitudes and skills to become a future lifeguard. Your child will receive instruction in prevention, fitness, response, leadership, professionalism and swimming skill development.

Guard Start is NOT a lifeguard training class
