Lifeguard-Pro is an internationally & nationally recognized Lifeguard, and CPR & First Aid certification agency.
There are over 4,200 drowning deaths per year in the USA. In many other countries the number of drowning deaths is even higher!
The exact number of annual worldwide drownings is unknown, but it is estimated to be over 100,000 deaths per year. The vast majority of these drowning deaths can be attributed to three simple public safety failures:
(1) The victim did not know how to swim effectively;
(2) The victims did not know how to effectively protect themselves nor their loved ones in and around the water; and,
(3) The swimming area was unsupervised by certified Lifeguards who were capable of rendering lifesaving assistance.
Lifeguard-Pro is dedicated to reducing the number of deaths by drowning worldwide by addressing these three public safety failures.
Lifeguard-Pro teaches the public to swim, teaches the public how to effectively protect themselves and their loved-ones in and around the water, and trains Lifeguards to better prevent and respond to aquatics emergencies. We are dedicated to enhancing public safety by making aquatics public safety training more available than ever before.

Nationally & Internationally Recognized
Dedicated to Making Public Safety Training More Available. Every employer, Lifeguard candidate knows that the biggest problem with aquatics public safety training is that there simply is not enough available Lifeguard and Water Safety Swim Instructor training courses. Many cities have a scarcity of available certification courses. Many rural areas have none! This chronic lack of available Lifeguard and Water Safety Swim Instructor certification courses is a significant contributor to the incredibly high number of deaths by drowning every year. Nearly all drowning deaths are avoidable. By making Lifeguard and Water Safety Swim Instructor certification courses more available, Lifeguard-Pro reduces this tragically high number of drowning deaths. Support Lifeguard-Pro in our mission to make Lifeguard and Water Safety Swim Instructor certification courses more available. Together, we can save lives!
Making Public Safety Training More Available
Improving National Public Safety. Our mission is to reduce the number of deaths by drowning worldwide by making aquatics public safety training more available. Consequently, Lifeguard-Pro created Lifeguard and Water Safety Swim Instructor certification courses that are far more convenient than the old, outdated style, certification courses of yester-year. Lifeguard-Pro has innovatively combined the convenience of an online Home-Study Course with the availability of Instructor-Led Training Classes across the country and around the world. By making public aquatics safety courses more available globally, Lifeguard-Pro certification courses have been a significant contributor in reducing the number of deaths by drowning worldwide.

Lifeguard-Youth Camp Certification
State and local governments have known for a long time that youth camp aquatics activities present unique and serious hazards to children. Yet, despite state and local regulations attempting to reduce those risks, the Lifeguard industry failed to provide a youth camp specific training course to help the states and local governments in achieving the goal of making youth camps safer for our children. Lifeguard-Pro responded with the nationwide public safety answer! To better protect the lives of children, Lifeguard-Pro created the nation’s first Lifeguard–Youth Camp certification course, which trains Lifeguards to better prevent and respond to emergencies in youth camp environments. The Lifeguard-Pro Lifeguard-Youth Camp certification protects the lives of children at youth camps across the entire country, and many countries around the world. We worked tirelessly with state and local governments to create a solution to better protect the lives of children at youth camps across the country. Lifeguard-Pro has undoubtedly improved national public safety!
Lifeguard-Deep Pool Certification
Previously the Lifeguard industry provided insufficient training to guard the public safety in and around deep water swimming pools and diving catch wells. Lifeguard-Pro acted in creating the nation’s first Lifeguard-Deep Pool (max depth 20 ft.) certification course to better prevent and respond to emergencies in and around deep water pools and diving catch wells. Operators of deep water pools and diving catch wells (e.g., high schools, colleges, universities, competition pools, etc.) can now better prevent and respond to drownings at their aquatics facilities. Lifeguard-Pro continues to identify and solve national public safety hazards!

How We Are Improving the Standard of Lifeguard Training
Lifeguard-Pro leads the Lifeguard industry with the first online international certification verification database.

Simply click VERIFY CERTIFICATION, enter in the unique number on the certification card, and instantly verify the certification card and expiration date. Our online international certification database reduces the employers’ administrative burden of verifying Lifeguard certifications, and significantly reduces the employers’ liability from lapsed and fraudulent certification cards.

Our new, ultra-convenient Lifeguard training model is the way of the future.
Making Aquatics Safety Training More Convenient
Our professional Lifeguard training program incorporates all the top U.S. Lifeguard standards and procedures. But, Lifeguard-Pro goes well beyond the minimum U.S. national standards. We also teach the most effective and leading-edge Lifeguard skills and practices to ensure that our Lifeguards are always better prepared to prevent and respond to emergencies. All our CPR, First Aid and Blood Borne Pathogens certification courses fully comply with international AHA standards & procedures.

Lifeguard-Pro offers more Lifeguard training specialty courses (e.g., Shallow Pool (max depth 5 ft.), Swimming Pool (max depth 12 ft.), Deep Pool (max depth 20 ft.), Waterfront, Youth Camp, and Water Park) than any other nationally recognized Lifeguard training company.

Lifeguard-Pro certification courses have improved upon the old, outdated style Lifeguard certification courses of yester-year.
How We Are Improving the Standard of Lifeguard Training

- Demands Lifeguard certification courses are taught only by professional rescuers to ensure the highest quality learning experience — Life saving safety training should be taught by professionals;
- Refuses to allow laypersons or volunteers to teach Lifeguard courses to make ourselves more money at the expense of national public safety — The public deserves effective life saving training delivered by professionals;

- Unlike the old, outdated style Lifeguard certification courses of yester-year that require Lifeguard certification renewal every two or three years, Lifeguard-Pro requires every Lifeguard certification to be fully re-tested and renewed annually — More frequent life saving training enhances the national public safety.
Lifeguard-Pro believes our national public safety deserves high-quality life saving training conducted by professionals, which is conveniently available to all that require such safety training — The public agrees!
That is why governments, employers, insurance companies, and Lifeguards are moving away from the old, outdated Lifeguard certification courses, and choosing the more modern, more comprehensive, and ultra-convenient Lifeguard-Pro training program !
