Lifeguard Training (Ages 15 & up)

This FREE course is taught by Certified Starguard Instructors. Course completion does not guarantee certification nor employment. Participants will complete a Starfish Aquatics Institute Lifeguarding course. Students learn aquatic rescues, CPR and AED. Students must demonstrate proper skills as well as pass a written test. Students must be able to swim 200 yards as a prerequisite. Completion of this class is required for new lifeguards seeking employment with the Village of Glendale Heights, but does not guarantee placement. This course is also appropriate for those seeking recertification at another establishment which accepts Starguard Certification. Contact Bill DePue at bill_depue@glendaleheights.org for an employment application. For those not seeking employment at GH2O and wishing to receive their certificate, a $175 license fee will be charged for the certification.

Classes are offered in May and June. Click here for detailed class information and to register.
