Lifeguard class in Mifflin County Pennsylvania: common questions
Where can I take lifeguard training in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania?
American Aquatics and Safety Training runs blended lifeguard certification for candidates across Mifflin County. The county's largest communities are Lewistown, Burnham and Juniata Terrace, 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 Mifflin 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.
Will I be guarding a pool or open water in Mifflin County?
Both. The recorded venues in Mifflin County split between pools and open water. Named sites in Mifflin County include Rec Park Pool, Burnham Pool and Joe and Holly's pool. 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 Pennsylvania?
Age 15 on the last day of class covers most pool jobs, and waterfront or beach positions usually need 16. Employers in Mifflin County can impose a higher floor, so look at 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 Mifflin County does training cover?
Candidates commonly travel from Lewistown (8,418 residents), Burnham (1,965 residents) and Juniata Terrace (553 residents). Lewistown 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.
