Lifeguard class in Warren County New York: common questions
Where can I take lifeguard training in Warren County, New York?

The county's largest communities are Glens Falls and Lake George, and most candidates travel from those areas for the in-water portion.

Will I be guarding a pool or open water in Warren County?
Mostly open water. Beaches and waterfront sites outnumber pools among the recorded venues in Warren County. Waterfront postings usually set the minimum age at 16. Named sites in Warren County include Grunblatt Memorial Beach, Million Dollar Beach and Morey Stein Beach. 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 New York?
Age 15 on the last day of class covers most pool jobs, and waterfront or beach positions usually need 16. Employers in Warren County can impose a higher floor, so look at the posting before you register.
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 Warren County does training cover?
Candidates commonly travel from Glens Falls (14,507 residents) and Lake George (1,005 residents). Glens 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.
