The course suits summer hires, year round pool staff and anyone renewing a certification that has lapsed. You are trained in CPR, AED, First Aid, patron surveillance, emergency response and in water rescue technique. With 2.8% of Trinity County under water, some of those skills get used outside a pool as well as in one.
Be ready for the swim screen, which asks for 300 yards continuously, and the rest follows in class. Online registration is all that is needed, along with a swimsuit and a towel on the day.

Lifeguard class in Trinity County Texas: common questions
Where can I take lifeguard training in Trinity County, Texas?

The county's largest communities are Trinity and Groveton, 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 Trinity County?
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 Texas?
Pool employers generally want candidates to be 15 by the final day of the course, while waterfront and beach roles usually start at 16. Some employers in Trinity County set the bar higher, so read the job posting before booking.
What swim test do I have to pass?
You will swim 300 yards without stopping, tread for 2 minutes using legs alone, and bring a 10-pound brick back from 7 to 10 feet of water. Because it opens the in-person session, turn up prepared to get straight in.
