Judgment, knowledge, skill, and fitness – the four components of water rescue – form the basis of Bronze Medallion training. Candidates acquire the assessment and problem-solving skills needed to make good decisions in, on, and around the water. Bronze Medallion is a prerequisite for assistant lifeguard training in Bronze Cross.

Bronze Medallion 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 Medallion, additional volunteers (minimum of two) must participate as bystanders, team members, and/or victims.
