Become a Lifeguard at the Gordon JCC

The Gordon JCC offers a range of Red Cross Life Guard certification classes. Classes are available year-round for both new certifications and re-certification in CPR, AED, and First Aid. Red Cross lifeguard training and certification are imperative to the process of getting hired on as an official Red Cross Lifeguard. Our detailed training includes both testing of hands-on skills as well as comprehension on written tests. The American Red Cross is the most respected source for training and certification of this kind.
