The Lifeguarding courses will be delivered in the American Red Cross "Blended Learning" format in which course information will be delivered through a web based presentation, followed up by on-site skill training sessions on the scheduled dates.

Participants will be required to complete the online material as directed by the course instructor prior to each on-site training session.
