The Red Cross lifeguarding manual is one part of our program and does not by itself, deliver complete and comprehensive training.

Once successfully completed, our lifeguard renewal classes will extend your certification by two years. Find a class in your area.

At the Red Cross, our aquatic services go well beyond our North Dakota lifeguarding certification classes. In fact, we offer an Aquatic Examiner Service (AES) that can help your facility grow and flourish safely. When you enlist the help of our expert examiners, we'll conduct an in-depth facility tour to help us understand your safety and lifeguarding operations. Then, we'll create a comprehensive, objective evaluation based on American Red Cross Lifeguarding program standards, which will include the recommendations and resources needed to help you achieve and maintain those facility improvements. In addition, we'll conduct a follow-up visit where we'll evaluate on-the-job lifeguard performance, including surveillance and rescue skills, use team skills scenarios to test your staff's abilities, and give them the opportunity to learn how to improve. To get started, contact your local Aquatics Representative.
