Bronze Cross is designed for lifesavers who want the challenge of more advanced training, including an introduction to safety supervision. The Lifesaving Society’s Bronze Cross begins the transition from lifesaving to lifeguarding and prepares candidates for responsibilities as Assistant Lifeguards. Candidates strengthen and expand their lifesaving skills and begin to apply the principles and techniques of active surveillance in aquatic facilities. Bronze Cross emphasizes the importance of teamwork and communication in preventing and responding to aquatic emergencies. Bronze Cross is a prerequisite for advanced training in the Society’s National Lifeguard and leadership certification programs. Prerequisites: Bronze Medallion (need not be current) and 14 years of age is recommended. There is a 100% attendance policy in place for this course, which is not flexible. Required Course Material: The Canadian Lifesaving Manual is the required text (same text used in Bronze Medallion and a whistle (available for purchase at the time of fegistration).
