PRESCREEN
What is involved with the Prescreen?
Lifeguard Prescreen
Successful prescreen is required prior to class registration and participation. Completion of the prescreen does not guarantee success in class but determines if the student has the minimum skill level to safely participate in the course.
- Swimming sequence: jump into water from the side, totally submerge, recover to the surface and swim 150 yards using front crawl, breaststroke, or a combination of both. After swimming 150 yards, maintain position at the surface of the water without support for 2 minutes by treading without the use of your hands. After treading 2 minutes, swim 50 more yards. Goggles are permitted.
- Timed sequence (1 minute 40 second deadline): Starting in the water, swim 20 yards. Surface dive to a depth of 7 – 10 feet to retrieve a 10-pound object. Return to the surface and swim 20 yards on your back to return to the starting point, holding the object at the surface with both hands and keeping your face at or near the surface. Exit the water without using a ladder or steps. Goggles are not permitted.
