Description
The Lifesaving Society's Bronze Cross begins the transition from lifesaving to lifeguarding and prepares candidates for responsibilities as an assistant lifeguard. 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.
Intermediate First Aid is a pre-requisite for Bronze Cross, as such, SLSC has decided to offer the two, combined into 1 course. This course will first go through the Intermediate First Aid certification, and then complete the Bronze Cross portion - all within the registered dates & times.
