Teach National Lifeguard

Teach A National Lifeguard Course

As an experienced lifeguard, you may consider becoming a qualified teacher of National Lifeguard courses. Certified instructors teach lifeguard principles and techniques to include: scanning and observation, position and movement, rotation, communication, facility analysis and rescue for various aquatic environments.

The Lifesaving Society of BC & Yukon trains lifeguard instructors to demonstrate excellence both in the teaching and leading by example on the deck. If safety in, on and around water has been your passion, help build that same passion in others.
