Lifeguard class in Davis County Utah: common questions
Where can I take lifeguard training in Davis County, Utah?
American Aquatics and Safety Training runs blended lifeguard certification for candidates across Davis County. The county's largest communities are Layton, Bountiful and Syracuse, 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 Davis County?
$195.00 buys the full certification, covering water rescue, CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and First Aid in a single package. Renewing just one part costs $25.00 for CPR/AED or $19.99 for First Aid.
Will I be guarding a pool or open water in Davis County?
Both. The recorded venues in Davis County split between pools and open water. Named sites in Davis County include Bridger Bay Beach, Camera Flats and Lagoon-A-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 Utah?
Age 15 on the last day of class covers most pool jobs, and waterfront or beach positions usually need 16. Employers in Davis 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 Davis County does training cover?
Candidates commonly travel from Layton (83,516 residents), Bountiful (44,144 residents) and Syracuse (37,022 residents). Layton 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.
