LIFEGUARD INSTRUCTOR
The Lifeguarding Instructor (LGI) course trains instructor candidates to teach American
Red Cross student-level courses including Lifeguarding, Waterpark Skills, and CPR/AED
for Professional Rescuers and Health Care Providers.
Instructor candidates who hold a current student-level Waterfront Skills certificate
will also be able to teach the Waterfront Skills course. This instructor course does
not teach student-level lifeguarding skills and knowledge. Participants must come
to class already knowing student-level lifeguarding content.
