The Rome-Floyd YMCA will be hosting an American Red Cross Lifeguard Instructor training course on November 9th and 10th on site. The training days will be from 9am till 9pm with a one hour break in between on both days. The individual cost is between $350 and $400. Candidates must be current Red Cross lifeguards to participate. If anyone is interested in participating as a helper to allow us to meet the class minimum, there is no extra cost, but they will receive no certification and would simply have the opportunity to refresh their skills with the most current Red Cross training requirements. 

The class will be hosted by Jonathon Lee with the Atlanta Athletic Club who is both an instructor trainer with Red Cross and a faculty-level instructor trainer with the YMCA lifeguard program. 

Please let us know of anyone is interested with their full name, phone number and email so that we may add them to the class roster. This information is time sensitive.
