Second and Third Year Lifeguards

Second and third year lifeguards will be required to register for a CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and Bloodborne Pathogen training (BBP).

If you are taking the CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer class with another company, make sure you receive the correct certificates. A copy of the front and back will need to be turned in before you begin working. The CPR/AED certificate should read:

  • CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers (valid for 2 years), but GHPMI requires lifeguards to recertify each year before season.

CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuers Review Course Requirements:

  • Having been certified in American Red Cross Lifeguard Training, First Aid, and CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer.
  • Provide proof of Lifeguard Training/First Aid certifications that do not expire prior to the end of the summer season (9/30).
  • Enroll in an American Red Cross CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuers course. Please note: CPR classes are often offered at schools and churches; however, these classes tend to be Community CPR rather than CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer. Community CPR classes will not meet the requirements of a lifeguard.

The entire CPR/AED Review course is normally scheduled for an entire day. The course takes approximately 5 hours to complete. Participants are required to attend all dates and times of the scheduled course.

After passing the entire CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer Review course, you will be certified in the following:

  • CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers (2 year certification)but,GHPMI requires lifeguards to recertify each year before season.
