About Us

The American Lifeguard Association® is pleased to announce that we have secured a national grant for 2024 to lower our Lifeguard and safety training fees. These funds will be made available until they are exhausted. The price reflects a special $100 discount due to the grant we received, for our regular price is $385. The funds are limited, so register today to ensure you can take advantage of the grant. 

Our video instructor-led course allows individuals to become trained and certified in lifeguarding without the wait for a group class. Upon completion of the online components of the program, you will receive a two-year certification in lifeguarding, CPR/AED, and first aid. If you need assistance at any point during your training, we are available 24/7 in real-time at alalifeguard@aol.com. After finishing the course, your certification records will be uploaded to the National Verification System, enabling employers and health department officials to easily verify your credentials.

Our lifeguard training and certification program requires that employers adhere to the standards outlined by the Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC). In accordance with these national standards, employers are required to conduct both pre-service and in-service training evaluations. This rigorous approach ensures that our training not only meets national benchmarks but also provides candidates with top-tier education, preparing them for effective prevention and response to aquatic emergencies.
