The county's largest communities are Danville and Washingtonville, 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.

The complete certification is $195.00 and bundles water rescue, CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and First Aid together. If you only need one component renewed, CPR/AED alone is $25.00 and First Aid alone is $19.99.
How old do I need to be to become a lifeguard in Pennsylvania?
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 Montour County sometimes set a higher minimum, so confirm against 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.
