Participants must already have the knowledge and ability to swim the strokes for the prerequisites, as there will be no swim instruction prior to testing. Those who are not able to pass the prerequisite skills predetermined by the American Red Cross will not be permitted to remain in the class due to liability and risk factors associated with the physical demands of the course. A refund of $150 may be remitted to those who do not pass the prerequisite skill test, which is the class fee less the cost of the non-refundable registration fee.
Participants who are 16 years of age and pass both the written and physical tests of the course will be certified by the American Red Cross in Lifeguarding, First Aid, CPR, and AED, making them eligible for employment as a certified lifeguard. Although the City of Burleson may hire from the group selected, employment by the City of Burleson is not guaranteed.
