Lifeguarding and Water Safety Instructor Classes

SHAPE offers classes for Lifeguarding every year through the American Red Cross.

If you are interested in working in our pool as a lifeguard, please email or call us 802-728-1584.

We host an American Red Cross Lifeguard Certification annually, which is taught by an independent instructor. The class is the only 1 week ARC spring class in central Vermont, and space is limited. The Class fee is $350 which includes all materials. Lifeguard recertification only is $150.

In addition to the lifeguarding class, we will also be hosting a Water Safety Instructor (WSI), which is taught by an independent instructor (details below). The class is one week, and space is limited to 10 participants. The class fee is $350, which includes all materials, and non-refundable deposit of $150 is due by TBD.
