Count on the American Red Cross for the best training on how to be safe in, on and around the water!  The American Red Cross has been the leader in swimming and lifeguarding since 1914.  Now the winning tradition continues with an exciting new collection of courses designed to make learning easier and to help you benefit from the latest research on instructional techniques.

The newly revised American Red Cross Swimming and Water Safety program for 2009 is now available! Based on feedback from industry experts, the program has been updated to make it more effective and easier to teach. Updates include:

  • Water safety and drowning prevention skills built into all swim levels as a major focus of learning.
  • New distribution of swim skills throughout the levels to help reduce bottlenecks and optimize skill acquisition.
  • Three new Preschool Aquatics levels to better meet the developmental needs of younger children.
