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: Must be 13 years old OR have Bronze Star in order to take the level at 12 years old. Understand the lifesaving principles embodied in the four components of water rescue education: judgment, knowledge, skill and fitness.

Lifesavers develop stroke efficiency and endurance in a timed swim. Includes the CPR-A certification. Canadian Life Saving Manual is required ($36.00). There is a non-refundable exam fee of $20.00. 100% attendance is required.
Lessons are outside; we recommend applying sunscreen 30-minutes before lesson start time and/or wearing a rashguard.
