Henderson offers lifeguard training

The Henderson Parks and Recreation Department is hosting an American Red Cross Lifeguard Training program to prepare candidates for potential jobs as lifeguards.

Candidates successfully completing the course will be certified in lifeguard training/first aid, CPR/AED for the professional rescuer, and preventing disease transmission.

All candidates will complete a skills test to determine fitness and swimming ability. The test includes a 300-yard nonstop swim, followed by retrieval of a 10-pound submerged object and swimming the object back to a starting point.

Attendance at every date in a chosen session is mandatory. Participants must be at least 15 years old, and proof of age will be required. Registration in any session is $100 per person. Register online at cityofhenderson.com.
