Lifeguard certification

[Jose H. Espinosa]

At Tuesday's meeting we came to the strategy that we will try to
negotiate having a lifeguard on deck (the one provided by the city)
and a number of laudgards playing (us) for that we need as many of us
certified as possible.

I volunteer to lead that effort, and there is a number of options in
the city to get certified (they even have their own yelp page). Do the
people that are certified have any recommendations?

Jose

[Le Grand Bleu]

Thank you José.

Che did his through the Red Cross I believe.

The city asked me to provide lifeguarding certificates for our coaches. If you have a current certificate please send it to me. If you don't have one please try to take a course so we can share this effort.

I took one in August at USF. It was easy and I practiced useful skills in the water. There are a bunch of courses you can register for at https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/lifeguarding?latitude=37.7749295&longitude=-122.4194155&searchtype=class&zip=san%20francisco%2C%20ca (You want Lifeguarding-BL. BL is blended online and in-person learning)

My dear Sea Lions, please let me know if you intend to help lifeguard our sessions. When our club provides a guard we save a significant amount on our rental cost ($130 vs 200(?) per session). The pool administration has reminded me that the designated guard can not be in the water. Currently only Cy and I have taken the course. While I'd like to keep our costs down I'm not generous enough to lifeguard on the deck when most of our team isn't taking a turn guarding. Unless you step up to help please anticipate paying much more for your hockey time.
