Interested in becoming a lifeguard?

A few places are still available in the Red Cross’ Assistant Water Safety Course, offered by the Verdun borough during the winter season. The course will be offered on Sunday evenings, from 6 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. at the Mgr Richard school pool. The class is for 15-year-olds and over with a good knowledge of swimming techniques - equivalent to Level 10.

The Assistant Water Safety Instructor Course prepares youngsters for the Instructor course, where they will acquire teaching and leadership skills. This training is therefore of particular interest to those who would eventually like to apply for a lifeguard position at a pool.
