The county's largest communities are Newnan, Senoia and Grantville, and most candidates travel from those areas for the in-water portion.

Will I be guarding a pool or open water in Coweta County?
Pools. No open-water venue is recorded in Coweta County. Named sites in Coweta County include Splash park, Planterra Ridge Clubhouse and Pool and newnan country club pool. Whether a certification is accepted for waterfront or surf positions depends on the employer and, in some states, on state rules, so check the posting before you apply. Surf beaches often run their own qualifying test.
How old do I need to be to become a lifeguard in Georgia?
Age 15 on the last day of class covers most pool jobs, and waterfront or beach positions usually need 16. Employers in Coweta County can impose a higher floor, so look at the posting before you register.
What swim test do I have to pass?
Three elements: a continuous 300 yard swim, 2 minutes treading with legs only, and recovering a 10-pound brick from 7 to 10 feet and bringing it back. This happens at the very start of the in-person session, so come ready to swim.
Which communities in Coweta County does training cover?
Candidates commonly travel from Newnan (44,940 residents), Senoia (5,929 residents) and Grantville (3,278 residents). Newnan is the largest community in the county, and certification is approved in almost every state in the US and CMAHC approved, so it stays valid if you take a job in a neighboring county or another state.
