Basic Water Rescue Certification

The American Red Cross Basic Water Rescue course provides individuals with the knowledge and necessary skills to prevent, recognize, and respond to many types of aquatic emergencies. This course also prepares individuals for aquatic emergencies by teaching them how to protect themselves while assisting others. There will be 75% of the time spent in the classroom (theory) and 25% time in the pool (skills session). There is no prerequisite to this program. However, because there is an in-water skills session, it is recommended that participants are comfortable in chest–deep water. Certification fees include: BWR booklet (for participants to keep), exam fees (tests, answer sheets, on-site grading & submission) and American Red Cross Certification Card.
