What is a requirement for maintaining instructor certification?

To maintain instructor certification, it is essential to successfully pass the Lifeguarding Instructor/IT review course. This requirement ensures that instructors remain knowledgeable about current lifeguarding practices, safety protocols, and teaching techniques. The review process aligns instructors with the latest standards set by the American Red Cross, enabling them to effectively teach and train future lifeguards. Completing this course not only reaffirms the instructor's skill set but also provides updates on any changes or enhancements in the course material or guidelines. This commitment to continual learning is vital in the dynamic field of lifeguarding, ensuring that certified instructors are well-prepared to educate others effectively and safely.
