We do lifeguarding courses 4 times a year. Our fall, winter, spring and summer lifeguard courses follow the school breaks of the Highline School District.

We offer lifeguard classes every other season for those who are age 15+. These classes are blended learning with an online portion and instructor-led classroom sessions. Courses are $150.00
To begin this class, you must first pass the prerequisites, which include:
- 300yrd continuous swim with rhythmic and controlled breathing. Swimmers may use freestyle, breast stroke or a combination of both. Backstroke and side swimming are not allowed. Goggles may be used.
- 2 minute treading water with no hands. Swimmers may have their hands in their armpits or above the water.
- Retrieving a 10 pound brick from our 10ft deep pool. Starting in the shallow end, students must swim to the deep end and identify the brick. Using the surface dive, feet-first, or head-first method, swimmers will bring the brick to the surface and swim on their backs to the shallow end.
