Lifeguard class in Effingham County Georgia: common questions

Where can I take lifeguard training in Effingham County, Georgia?

American Aquatics and Safety Training runs blended lifeguard certification for candidates across Effingham County. The county's largest communities are Rincon, Springfield and Guyton, and most candidates travel from those areas for the in-water portion. Coursework is completed online first, then the rescue skills, CPR/AED and First Aid sessions are done in person with an instructor.

How much does lifeguard certification cost in Effingham County?

The all-in price is $195.00, which includes water rescue, CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and First Aid. Where only one element has lapsed, CPR/AED on its own is $25.00 and First Aid on its own is $19.99.

How old do I need to be to become a lifeguard in Georgia?

Most pools ask for 15 years old on the final day of the course. Waterfront and beach roles generally want 16 or above. Because individual Effingham County employers may require more, check the advert before committing.

What swim test do I have to pass?

Expect a continuous 300 yard swim, 2 minutes of legs-only treading, and a 10-pound brick recovered from between 7 and 10 feet. It is the first thing that happens in person, so be ready for the water on arrival.

Which communities in Effingham County does training cover?

Candidates commonly travel from Rincon (11,624 residents), Springfield (3,284 residents) and Guyton (2,925 residents). Rincon 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.
