Golden State Lifeguards is now offering professional/community training classes and programs in the Southern California region. Our training classes are taught by career lifeguard/medics who go above and beyond to ensure that each student retains what is being taught. The best part of the training classes is we can bring it to your home or office.
Additionally we offer classes and seminars for currently certified ocean lifeguards to help them to become better equipped for rescue situations.
Some of the training classes/seminars we offer are:
American Red Cross Lifeguard (R24 Updated)
This is the primary professional lifeguarding training offered by the American Red Cross. The course is designed to prepare participants to prevent, recognize, and respond to aquatic emergencies and to perform emergency care (CPR, AED, first aid) for both water-related and medical emergencies. It is evidence-based and aligned with the latest scientific research and best practices for aquatic safety.Upon successful completion, participants receive a 2-year Lifeguarding certification, which also includes CPR for the Professional Rescuer, AED, and Basic First Aid training and certification
CPR & AED
The Red Cross CPR & AED course teaches individuals how to recognize and respond to cardiac and breathing emergencies, perform effective CPR, and use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) safely until professional help arrives. It is designed for the general public or workplace responders, and successful completion results in a two-year certification.
Emergency Medical Responder Course
An Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) course is the entry-level gateway into the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) world. It is designed for those who are often the first on a scene, such as police officers, firefighters, and industrial safety teams but who do not primarily work on an ambulance.
The course typically ranges from 40 to 60 hours and focuses on immediate, life-saving interventions.
Infant and Child Water Safety for Parents
This course is designed to empower caregivers with the knowledge and psychological readiness to prevent aquatic accidents. This course shifts the focus from “teaching a child to swim” to “teaching a parent to protect,” emphasizing that adult supervision and environmental barriers are the most effective defenses against drowning.
