Classroom Instructions

Lifeguard Candidate,

Thank  you for  registering with North Star! We are excited to offer you American Red Cross Lifeguarding Blended Learning Course. Blended learning combines online learning with on-site skills sessions where you'll practice skills and demonstrate competency. Please plan to complete the online lessons of your training at least two days prior to your on-site skills session. 

**You will receive an email with instructions and a link for completing the online learning portion of your course from the American Red Cross approximately 7 days before your course begins.  Please be on the look out for an email "Salesforce Automation Account."  It will probably wind up in your junk mail folder!**

If you have any difficulty logging in, please contact the American Red Cross Help Line at 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Create your ID and Login as soon as possible; please do not wait. You can take your time to complete the course work, but issues logging in require assistance from the Red Cross Support center and may take time to resolve.
 

FYI, your instructor cannot access your account or see if you've completed your assignments. It is your responsibility to complete all work before the first pool session and bring your completion report to class.
 

Please bring the following items to the start of the class sessions:
      Online classroom Completion report.
      Liability waiver - download below (We will have copies pool side)

      COVID-19 Acknowledgement - download below (We will have copies pool side)
      Well-fitting swim suit (one piece or trunks)
      Goggles for pre-course swim test (if needed)
      Change of clothes, comfortable athletic wear (we will be dry for half the class)
      Lunch, or money for lunch (you will be given time to eat each day)
      2 towels
 

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the information before class. You can access a free digital copy of the Lifeguard Manual here. Loaner copies will be available during class.
