The American Red Cross requires at least 5 students for a class and no more than 12 - no exceptions. Registration forms and payment must be received at least one week prior to the class start date. If there are not enough students registered and paid by this time, you will be notified and fully refunded. Due to social distancing requirements, class sizes are extremely limited. Register early.

We are able to keep our prices low because we do not provide a copy of the Lifeguard Training Manual. Please visit the American Red Cross website to download your own digital copy.
