The Lifesaving Society has updated the National Lifeguard program following a review to ensure its curriculum and performance standards remain current, relevant and grounded in the competencies required by lifeguards. Read about the key changes.

 

In New Brunswick, National Lifeguard Instructors must attend a National Lifeguard Update Clinic. The clinic is mandatory and is worth 3 credits towards your leadership recertification. The first available clinic is scheduled November 5, 2022 at the University of Moncton. Contact the Society to register.
