Lifeguard Classes are offered at the Oak Ridge Civic Center at various times throughout the year. The fee is $140.00. Successful completion of the class will provide the student with Lifeguarding, CPR for the Professional Rescuer, and First Aid certification. Attendance at all sessions is mandatory. Students must be 15 years old. Prerequisites include a 300 yard continuous swim using the front crawl and breaststroke with rhythmic breathing and a timed 20 yard swim and recovery of a 10 pound weight as well as two minutes of treading water using legs only.
