Lifeguard class in Logan County Illinois: common questions

Where can I take lifeguard training in Logan County, Illinois?

American Aquatics and Safety Training runs blended lifeguard certification for candidates across Logan County. The county's largest communities are Lincoln, Atlanta and Mount Pulaski, 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 Logan 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 Illinois?

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 Logan County employers may require more, check the advert before committing.

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 Logan County does training cover?

Candidates commonly travel from Lincoln (13,072 residents), Atlanta (1,637 residents) and Mount Pulaski (1,511 residents). Lincoln 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.
