Safety Training RequirementsInfo on dealing with American Red Cross for STSC Certification Safety Training for Swim Coaches Safety Training for Swim Coaches is only offered by the American Red Cross. There are two four-hour sessions: classroom and in-water. The classroom session can be completed online at www.usaswimming.org/coachmember (study materials and online test are available thru this link). Print the confirmation email that you receive after you pass the online test and take it to the in-water session with you. (The four-hour classroom session can also be completed in person at your local ARC chapter.) You must complete the in-water session within 30 days of passing the online test. Any WSI is authorized to teach STSC and can find the materials on the ARC Instructors’ Corner website. When you complete the in-water session, you will receive a STSC certification from your instructor. Send this card to your LSC Membership Chair.
If you have one of the approved lifeguard certifications above, that means that you do not have to complete the in-water session. You are required, however, to take the online written test. Print the confirmation email and send it, along with your lifeguard cert, to your LSC Membership Chair. |
