I just took the lifeguard certification class for July 10th- July 12th and this is the best lifeguard class out there. I am from Summerlin Las Vegas and drove to Henderson to take this particular class. The price is currently $160 (including CPR mask) & American Red Cross Certified. Other places will charge additional fees for the mask and run an average of $220 for certification! A HUGE financial difference!!! The classes held downtown are a little cheaper, but not worth the trouble. (I also heard the YMCA lifeguard certification classes are not welcoming and kind of burdensome).
The instructors Steve and Carolyn are very supportive, knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. The owner Ruth goes above and beyond to prepare her students for interviews, job hunting, and finding employment by personally assisting each lifeguard herself. She even brought us snacks through out training and genuinely cares about preparing her students. She is a nurse with plenty of empathy, spirit, and was a past lifeguard herself.
I would definitely recommend Lifeguard Staff to anyone thinking about getting certified for the first time or re-certifying (like myself). The great service, the price, and most especially the experience are well worth it.
