The purpose of the American Red Cross Lifeguard Training Course is to teach lifeguard candidates the skills and knowledge needed to prevent and respond to aquatic emergencies. The UF CPR & Safety Training Center offers a series of lifeguard classes throughout the spring and summer.
Previous participants have used this program to seek aquatic jobs on campus, and others have explored lifeguarding opportunities at local YMCA’s, summer camps, country clubs or aquatic facilities near their home. It is the responsibility of each student to make sure they can attend each class. The course hours vary depending on the course that you take.
