Bronze Medallion

Jump to:

Overview

Bronze Medallion, as our flagship certification, teaches an understanding of the lifesaving principles embodied in the four components of water rescue education: judgment, knowledge, skill, and fitness. Bronze Medallion challenges the candidate both mentally and physically. Judgment, knowledge, skill and fitness – the four components of water rescue – form the basis of Bronze Medallion training. Candidates acquire the assessment and problem-solving skills needed to make good decisions in, on and around the water. Bronze Medallion is a prerequisite for Assistant Lifeguard training in Bronze Cross.

Prerequisites

  • Minimum 13 years of age or the Bronze Star award.
Recognition

Bronze Medallion medal and electronic certification

Currency

If a Bronze Medallion award is used for employment (e.g. some jurisdictions require Bronze Medallion to supervise school groups or camps), the award must be current within two (2) years by attending a Bronze Medallion Recert.
