At Bayouland YMCA, we are dedicated to equipping our community with the essential skills and certifications needed to ensure safety and preparedness in various environments. Our Lifeguard Certification program is designed to train and certify individuals in the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent and recognize aquatic risks and respond effectively to emergencies. Participants will also receive certification from the American Red Cross for Professional Lifeguard and Emergency CPR & First-aid. With comprehensive training, our lifeguard classes ensure that participants are well-prepared to handle real-life situations, making our pools and aquatic facilities safer for everyone.

In addition to lifeguard training, we offer a range of American Heart Association courses tailored to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and the general public. Our BLS for Healthcare Providers course teaches high-quality CPR techniques for adults, children, and infants, making it ideal for doctors, nurses, and medical students. The First Aid/CPR/AED course covers essential first aid skills, recognition of life-threatening emergencies, and the proper use of an AED. For those in need of OSHA certification, our Heart Saver Total course is perfect for coast guard or offshore workers. Each of these courses is designed to provide comprehensive training and certification, ensuring that our community is prepared to handle emergencies with confidence.
