What does a lifeguard prep class cover?

A prep class reviews the swim and rescue skills a certification course will test you on before you commit to the full course:

  • The timed continuous swim
  • Treading water without your hands
  • Retrieving a weighted brick from the pool floor

It is practice and coaching, not certification, you leave with the skills tuned up, not a card.

Who Should Take A Prep Class

This class is for candidates who want a supervised practice session before enrolling in a certification course, especially if you:

  • Haven’t swum competitively in years
  • Aren’t confident you’d pass the swim prerequisite on the first attempt
  • Want feedback on your technique before it counts

Prep Class vs. Full Certification Course

A prep class and a certification course are not the same thing. The certification course is where you’re actually tested and certified; the prep class exists so you walk into that test ready, instead of finding out you’re not ready on exam day.

It is optional, not a prerequisite, candidates who are already confident in their swimming can skip straight to the certification course.

Reviewed by Jackie Stern, Lifeguard Instructor, Firefighter and EMT. Jackie Stern has taught lifeguarding for more than 20 years and works as a firefighter, EMT and swim instructor. She reviews course content, prerequisites and rescue standards against current certification requirements.
