What training does American Aquatics and Safety Training offer?
At American Aquatics & Safety Training, we provide comprehensive, approved in almost every state in the US and CMAHC approved safety and lifeguarding education designed to prepare you for real-world emergency response and rescue work.
Compare class listings across all three supervisory tracks, Lifeguard Management, Pool Activity Leader, and Aquatic Supervisor, in one place.
Learn essential skills to safely care for children, handle emergencies, and create a fun, responsible environment.
Team-based resuscitation training for nurses, EMTs, and other healthcare providers who need more than a standard CPR/AED card.
Two-rescuer CPR, bag-valve mask use, and coordinated response built for lifeguards and other on-duty professional rescuers.
Browse CPR/AED class schedules with current dates, locations, and pricing before enrolling in your certification course.
Learn how to safely administer emergency oxygen and respond effectively during life-threatening emergencies.
Browse active First Aid class listings by location and date. Often paired with CPR/AED, but bookable on its own if that is all your employer requires.
Develop the skills and knowledge needed to teach, evaluate, and certify lifeguards effectively.
A practical evaluation covering leadership skills, staffing review, and emergency response as part of lifeguard management certification.
A supervised practice session covering the timed swim, treading water, and brick retrieval before you commit to a full certification course.
Check upcoming re-certification class dates before your current card expires, renewing early is faster than retaking the full course.
All three certifications most pool and waterfront employers require, combined into a single course instead of three separate classes.
Build the skills to safely lead, supervise, and organize engaging activities in aquatic environments.
Learn how to recognize, prevent, and respond to sexual harassment while promoting a safe and respectful workplace.
Search current Water Swimming Instructor class listings, a common next step for lifeguards who want to add teaching to their credentials.
Find Waterfront Lifeguarding classes near you. This certification builds on standard pool training with open-water search and entry skills.
We are a nonprofit lifeguard and water safety training provider, currently listing hundreds of classes nationwide. Every course is built around hands-on skills testing, not just a certificate at the end, because the standard you are held to on deck is the one that actually keeps swimmers safe.
How We Teach
Classroom
In-person instruction and hands-on skills testing at a local pool or facility. Best if you want an instructor watching your technique in real time.
Blended Learning
Complete the classroom lecture portion online at your own pace, then attend an in-person session for the skills and water portions.
Online
Self-paced coursework for programs that do not require an in-water skills check, such as some First Aid and workplace-safety courses.
