Aquatics Programs
Pier-Lon Park has been the host of American Red Cross aquatics programs for over 25 years! We continue to offer a greater selection of programs each year. Pier-Lon Park maintains a full time staff of highly-trained lifeguards, water safety instructors, and a lifeguard instructor. Our white sand beach is one of the few remaining outdoor facilities that have a full time aquatics staff.
Lifeguard Training
The American Red Cross lifeguard training provides a safety team with the essential safety skills and knowledge for a first-rate facility. This program prepares participants for employment as lifeguards at various facility types. The lifeguard training offered at Pier-Lon Park includes certification in Lifeguarding and First Aid, CPR for the Professional Rescuer, Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Essentials and Preventing Disease Transmission. Participants must be avid swimmers and 15 years of age by the end of the class. Participants will receive an approved Fox 40 Whistle, all Red Cross Training Material, additional training material created by our instructors, and many more benefits only offered at Pier-Lon Park!
Further information and our 2011 registration form are available HERE.
Learn to Swim/Parent & Child Aquatics (PCA)
This program emphasizes water safety while introducing swimming, diving, and other fundamental activities. The program offers six levels of progression as well as parent and child levels where both enter water to familiarize them with the water. After completing level six, participants will be ready to swim as a form of exercise and/or prepare for a lifeguard training course. Past participants have always come back to Pier-Lon Park after they have seen our successes!
Further information on each level and a registration form are available HERE.
