Lifeguard class in Warren County Illinois: common questions

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

American Aquatics and Safety Training runs blended lifeguard certification for candidates across Warren County. The county's largest communities are Monmouth, Roseville and Kirkwood, 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 Warren 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?

For pool work the common requirement is age 15 by the course end date, rising to 16 or older for waterfront and beach positions. Employers in Warren County sometimes set a higher minimum, so confirm against 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 Warren County does training cover?

Candidates commonly travel from Monmouth (8,567 residents), Roseville (855 residents) and Kirkwood (648 residents). Monmouth 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.
