This is the final course to take to become a certified Lifeguard. You must have completed Bronze Medallion, Bronze Cross and Standard First Aid before enrolling in this course. The National Lifeguard (NL) certification is the industry standard for professional lifeguards in Canada. NL guards are water rescue professionals trained in emergency care. They prevent accidents, spot potential trouble and intervene before it becomes life-threatening. Candidates are required to bring their bathing suits and a fox 40 whistle.
Prerequisite: Age 15 years, Bronze Cross and Standard First Aid with CPR C
