A huge part of making Andrew County aquatics successful is providing Red Cross lifeguard training opportunities to our high school students. For some prospective applicants, the up-front $375 fee to become certified is a limiting factor to having this amazing experience.
In order to make sure all kids have the opportunity to guard, ACAI has decided to sponsor students who would like to work at the SAC in 2027 in a special Christmas break training course!
The course will take place January 2nd - 4th at either the Platte City or Parkville YMCA.
We will need a minimum of 5 students and can welcome a max of 20 in this class.
Students must be 15 years old by the last day of training.
Certification is valid for two years.
Andrew County students will have spot preference.
All students must be able to pass a prerequisite swim test prior to completing training.
There will still be regular trainings offered in the spring. If you do spring training, you are responsible for the $375 up-front fee. City of Savannah DOES reimburse. They pay 50% of that fee at the completion of each year of service.
If you would like for your child to participate, please comment below or message us! 😊
