Aquatic Rescue Training
Our instructors have trained hundreds of lifeguards, many of whom are now senior staff with the City of Toronto, Ontario Place, the YMCA and other municipalities and agencies. Our instructors have served on committees with the Life Saving Society that helped set training policy throughout Ontario. All lifeguarding courses follow Life Saving Society standards, and use Life Saving Society texts such as the Canadian Lifesaving Manual and Alert: Aquatic Supervision in Action. While ARC does not maintain a permanent aquatic facility, we will arrange pool or waterfront time as needed for aquatic courses, or will provide instruction alone to organizations with their own facility. We offer the following courses on aquatic rescue: This course is a 16-hour program in aquatic rescue for those possessing First Responder or higher level training. This course is designed to bring aquatic rescue fundamentals to EMS and Fire workers who currently lack that training. Bronze Star, Medallion and Cross: Open to any strong swimmer with Standard First Aid/ CPR C. These courses run approximately 22 hours long each, and prepare the rescuer for the aquatic environment. Possessors of Bronze Cross can be employed as lifeguards. Approximately 40 hours long.
