New to lifeguarding? We’ve got you covered! Our YMCA Lifeguard course gives you all the training and hands‑on skills you need to feel confident and prepared. We guide you every step of the way so you can jump in, learn, and succeed — even if it’s your first time.

  • Basic Life Support (BLS)
  • Adult First Aid
  • Pediatric First Aid
  • Emergency Use of Medical Oxygen
What You'll Learn

Our comprehensive training focuses on pool lifeguarding and teaches you how to prevent emergencies before they happen and how to respond quickly and effectively when they do.

We teach you:

  • Water safety and accident prevention
  • Scanning and effective guarding techniques
  • Emergency response systems and rescue skills
  • First aid in aquatic environments
  • Spinal injury management
  • Basic pool operations and responsibilities
Hourly Rates
$11-12

per hour based on location.

Rate increases are available for those who have or obtain pool operator (CPO) certifications or lifeguard instructor (LGI) certifications.

Annual Lifeguard Games
Level Up Your Skills — And Have Fun Doing It.

Lifeguard Games brings together guards from all our pools to sharpen rescue skills, strengthen teamwork, and celebrate safety. Through realistic simulations and timed challenges, participants put their training into action in a high‑energy, supportive environment.

More than a competition, it builds confidence, encourages growth, and reinforces our shared commitment to keeping our pools safe — all while having fun.
