Session 2A - Bronze Medallion
Participant requirement to register: Bronze Star or 13-years-old by exam day
Bronze Medallion teaches an understanding of the lifesaving principles that make up the four components of water rescue – judgement, knowledge, skill and fitness. Rescuers learn tows, carries, and release methods in preparation for challenging rescues of increased risk. Lifesavers learn to respond to increasingly complex situations involving conscious and unconscious victims in contact and non-contact rescues. Lifesavers develop stroke efficiency and endurance with a timed swim.
Instructor - Patricia Boguski
I enjoy being able to teach Lifesaving Society courses to our aspiring lifeguards. This opportunity is not one I take lightly because it builds up their swimming skills, knowledge, awareness, and judgement to help prevent and rescue an individual in the event they are in danger in or around water and ice.
Having the opportunity to instruct local youth how to lifeguard not only provides them with the skills to be an effective lifeguard, but it also provides our community with the chance to get to enjoy the pool each summer in a safe environment. Our community can take pride in knowing that the staff are there looking out for everyone while enjoy the summers at the pool.
Off the deck you can find me with my family, camping and walking our family dog.

Session 2B - Bronze Cross
Participant requirement to register: Bronze Medallion
Bronze Cross is designed for lifesavers who want the challenge of more advanced training including an introduction to safe supervision in aquatic facilities. Bronze Cross teaches the difference between lifesaving and lifeguarding, the principles of emergency procedures, and teamwork. Lifesavers learn the skills involved in the rescue of a victim with a spinal injury, the rescue of a pulseless victim, and the rescue of a victim with deteriorating circumstances.
Bronze Cross is a prerequisite to National Lifeguard. Bronze Cross is the stepping stone for all of the Society’s advanced training programs in lifesaving, lifeguarding and leadership.

My favourite thing about teaching lessons would be seeing kids get more comfortable in the water and learning proper techniques to swim more efficient.
I feel everyone kid should learn how to swim. I feel like it’s a very important life skill to have. Everyone should know the dangers of water and what to do if they were in a bad situation with water.
I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family, especially my cousins. You can also find me at the gym or cleaning in my spare time

Instructor - Tessa
My favourite thing about teaching lessons is being able to teach other people how to do something that I really enjoy. I have always loved swimming and I hope I can pass my love for the water onto the kids that I teach.
I feel lessons are important because swimming is an important life skill. There are bodies of water everywhere and it is always good to know how to keep yourself and others safe in and around the water.
A few things I love to do are cooking, exercising, and working (oddly enough).

Session 5 - National Lifeguard
Participant requirement to register: minimum 15 years of age, Bronze Cross, and Standard First Aid* or Aquatic Emergency Care.
National Lifeguard is the industry standard for professional lifeguards in Canada.
National Lifeguard training develops a sound understanding of lifeguarding principles, good judgment, and a mature and responsible attitude towards the lifeguard’s role. National Lifeguard training emphasizes prevention and effective rescue response in emergencies including first aid treatment. The Lifesaving Society trains all of Canada’s National Lifeguards.
Instructor - Patricia Boguski
I enjoy being able to teach Lifesaving Society courses to our aspiring lifeguards. This opportunity is not one I take lightly because it builds up their swimming skills, knowledge, awareness, and judgement to help prevent and rescue an individual in the event they are in danger in or around water and ice.
Having the opportunity to instruct local youth how to lifeguard not only provides them with the skills to be an effective lifeguard, but it also provides our community with the chance to get to enjoy the pool each summer in a safe environment. Our community can take pride in knowing that the staff are there looking out for everyone while enjoy the summers at the pool.
Off the deck you can find me with my family, camping and walking our family dog.
Placement in Red Cross Swim programs depends on many variables including age, skill proficiency, previous experience and readiness.
