LSS Bronze Medallion w/ Basic First Aid (previously called Emergency First Aid)

The Lifesaving Society’s Bronze Medallion (15 hours) challenges the candidate both mentally and physically. Judgment, knowledge, skill and fitness – the four components of water rescue – form the basis of Bronze Medallion training. Candidates acquire the assessment and problem-solving skills needed to make good decisions in, on, and around the water. Bronze Medallion is a prerequisite for assistant lifeguard training in Bronze Cross. Basic First Aid (previously called Emergency First Aid) provides a general knowledge of first aid principles and the emergency treatment of injuries including: victim assessment, CPR, choking, and what to do for external bleeding, heart attack, stroke, wounds and burns. Basic First Aid (previously called Emergency First Aid) certification is a prerequisite to Bronze Cross. Prerequisite: Minimum 13 years of age or Bronze Star certification.
