Requirements for Lifeguarding
My role that I've been given for my DCP is lifeguard. I'm already a lifeguard, but I am a Red Cross certified lifeguard which is basically useless down at Disney. When I'm down at Disney I will have to be re-certified under Ellis Association? (I think that's the name of it). So the basic test for the lifeguarding that I will complete the first day is:
I'm not worried about the test at all because of being a lifeguard before I've done all of this and also since I was on a swim team for years this is rather easy for me. The only thing I'm a little nervous about is that the types of water saves are different from Ellis to Red Cross. Hopefully I pass all of my different tests which are doing different saves and a written test. As of know I'm not sure if anything else is required but I will update you with what I have to do with it!
