Description:

From Lifesaving Society Webisite:

Bronze Cross (20 hr.): begins the transition from lifesaving to lifeguarding and prepares candidates for responsibilities as assistant lifeguards. Candidates strengthen and expand their lifesaving skills and begin to apply the principles and techniques of active surveillance in aquatic facilities. Bronze Cross emphasizes the importance of teamwork and communication in preventing and responding to aquatic emergencies. Bronze Cross is a prerequisite for advanced training in the Society’s National Lifeguard and leadership certification programs.

Prerequisite: Bronze Medallion and Lifesaving Society Emergency or Standard First Aid certifications (need not be current) or EFA or SFA from one of these approved agencies.

Bronze Cross Exam Policy: Defines the minimum conditions under which Bronze level examinations may occur.

For all Bronze exams, the minimum number of candidates is one. Additional volunteers may be required to conduct an exam; however, the volunteers may not be the Examiner conducting the exam.

For Bronze Cross, additional volunteers (minimum of four) must participate, including one volunteer who is a current Bronze Cross candidate or someone who is currently certified in Bronze Cross or National Lifeguard. During Assistant Lifeguard Situations, candidates respond to emergency situations as a member and leader of an assistant lifeguard team. A minimum of two assistant lifeguarding situations are required.

Instruction & certification: Current Lifesaving Instructors teach and evaluate most items, but only Bronze Examiners may certify candidates. The Lifesaving Society deems its certifications to be "current" for 24 months from the certification date.

Candidate recognition: Bronze Cross medal, Bronze Cross Award crest, certification card.

Required reference material: Canadian Lifesaving Manual. Bronze Cross Workbook recommended.
