This is a blended learning class to help prepare you to be a lifeguard! The Red Cross Lifeguard certification class is taught across 9-weeks (no class on 2/25 or 4/1). Online learning must be completed by the second week of class and takes roughly 8 hours.
As the Carbondale Aquatics Center is not open during this time, classes will take place both at the CRCC and at the Glenwood Springs Recreation Center. Transportation is provided for classes taking place in Glenwood Springs.

We are currently hiring for the summer 2026 season too. Employees may receive a discount on class pricing upon successful employment terms.
