Bronze Cross

This course is part of the Quebec government's free lifeguard program designed to address the lifeguard shortage that has been affecting the province since the Covid-19 pandemic. All lifeguard classes will be free including this one until further notice.

We are requiring a 50$ deposit to ensure everyone shows up for the course. Once the course is over, and participants have attended the course consistently and completely, that deposit will be returned. If registration is cancelled less than 48h before the start date or the participant failed the exam, the $50 deposit cannot be credited or refunded.
