Description

Are you currently a swim coach or interested in becoming one? Take the American Red Cross Certification course now through UREC at Washington State University! This course teaches those involved in competitive swimming how to help maintain a comfortable and safe environment for swimmers, prevent accidents and emergencies and respond to swimmers with illnesses or injuries in water or on land. ***You will need to bring your valid government-issued form of identification. This will be verified by the instructor prior to the course start. We can not submit a course record for your renewed certification without verifying your identification.*** Prerequisite: *Minimum age of 15 on or before the last day of the scheduled class. *There are no skill prerequisites to enroll in the Safety Training for Swim Coaches Blended Learning course. However, because there is an in-water skills session, participants must be comfortable in chest-deep water. The Blended Learning version of the course is designed to be taught in approximately 6 hours. Online time: 3 hours and 3 hours of facility time. In order to completely enroll in this course, you must also register at the website below and complete the online content before the in-water skills session. https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/classes/safety-training-for-swim-coaches-online-content-only/a6R0V0000015Fhb.html?cgid=swimming&isCourse=true&storedistance=undefined#latitude=46.7297771&longitude=-117.1817377&searchtype=class&zip=pullman%2C+wa&zipcode=99163&start=1&cgid=swimming Certification Requirements: Attend the entire course, participate in all skill sessions, demonstrate competency in all required skills.
