Description
Bronze Cross begins the transition from lifesaving to lifeguarding and prepares candidates for responsibilities as assistant lifeguards. Candidates strengthen and expand their lifesaving skills and begin to apply the principles and techniques of active surveillance in aquatic facilities. Bronze Cross emphasizes the importance of teamwork and communication in preventing and responding to aquatic emergencies. Bronze Cross is a prerequisite for advanced training in the Society’s National Lifeguard and leadership certification programs.
Prerequisite: Bronze Medallion and Basic or Intermediate First Aid (or Emergency or Standard First Aid, need not be current) from the Society or another approved agency.
Prerequisites must be presented on or before the first day of the course. Candidates that do not have the proper prerequisites will be removed from the course.
