The Lifesaving Society’s Bronze Medallion & Cross Combo course offers a streamlined pathway for individuals aiming to become certified lifeguards. Designed for those aged 13 and older, or those holding a Bronze Star certification, this combined program merges the comprehensive training of both Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross into a single, intensive course. Participants will develop advanced lifesaving skills, including effective victim recognition, two-rescuer rescues, spinal injury management, and active surveillance techniques in aquatic facilities. The course emphasizes teamwork, communication, and decision-making in high-pressure situations, preparing candidates for the responsibilities of assistant lifeguards. The course comprises both classroom and water activities, requiring 100% attendance and participation. Successful completion of the course earns participants both the Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross certifications and serves as a prerequisite for the National Lifeguard program.
