Programs

Bronze Cross is designed for lifesavers who want the challenge of more advanced training, including an introduction to safety supervision.

Bronze Cross 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.

Prerequisites:

All sessions must be attended to complete.

Please note that the course requires a copy of the Canadian Lifesaving Manual and a pocket mask. Both of which can be purchased at the Sparwood Leisure Centre front desk.
