Lifeguard Training
Thinking about becoming a lifeguard? Get ahead of the game by taking a lifeguard training class offered year round by the Peoria Park District! It’s never too early to get certified!
Get a job you can feel good about–lifeguarding! Our classes provide you with the proper training. Training classes are held year-round. You MUST attend all three classes in a session and pass the Lifeguard test.
***All classes have an e-learning module that must be completed prior to the first day of class.
