Lifeguard class in Morrison County Minnesota: common questions

Where can I take lifeguard training in Morrison County, Minnesota?

American Aquatics and Safety Training runs blended lifeguard certification for candidates across Morrison County. The county's largest communities are Little Falls, Pierz and Royalton, 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 Morrison 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 Minnesota?

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 Morrison County sometimes set a higher minimum, so confirm against the posting before you register.

What swim test do I have to pass?

Swim 300 yards continuously, tread water 2 minutes without arms, and retrieve a 10-pound brick from 7 to 10 feet, returning with it. The session opens with this, so plan to be in the water immediately.

Which communities in Morrison County does training cover?

Candidates commonly travel from Little Falls (9,095 residents), Pierz (1,460 residents) and Royalton (1,276 residents). Little Falls 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.
