Water Safety Training Classroom Instruction & Pool Certification
Water safety certification is a requirement for any physical education teacher or walk-on coach who deals with "on deck" water sports/classes.

The certification includes two components, Safety Training for Swim Coaches and Basic Water Safety. The certification is valid for three years from the date of the original training. If the three year certification ends for teachers/coaches before they have completed their coaching or physical education water assignments for this year, they should plan to attend training to assure that their certification covers them for the entire school year.

Water certification is an extremely important issue because of the changes in first aid and the potential for injury and associated liability issues.

This training is still offered to those individuals who need it at no final cost to them; however, a $35.00 deposit is required to register for class. The rules are the same as those for CPR/First Aid. (All checks will be returned or destroyed by the school site for individuals who attend the training. The check for individuals who sign-up but do not attend will be sent to Instructional Resources and will be cashed by the district. This procedure is needed to assure that fixed workshop costs are covered with the trainer.)
