Vancouver Lifeguard Association

The Lifesaving Society’s Bronze Star develops swimming proficiency, lifesaving skill and
personal fitness. Candidates refine their stroke mechanics, acquire self-rescue skills,
and apply fitness principles in training workouts. Bronze Star is excellent preparation for
success in Bronze Medallion and provides a fun introduction to lifesaving sport.

Prerequisite: candidates must be 8-12 years of age. Should be able to swim 100 meters of front crawl, back crawl and breast stroke.

The Canadian Lifesaving Manual is required for both Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross, so it is used for all 3 courses. It is an important resource for your child's lifesaving journey.

Make sure to pack a lunch and snacks as we will have a break about half way through the session. Further information on what to bring will be provided closer to the start date.

Refund Policy: An admin fee will be assessed to all refunds. We require 5 days notice before the first date of the course for a refund

** This course is a little longer than our regularly scheduled Bronze course. ^ 6 hours a day, including a 30 minute break, so 1 hour extra instructional time overall.
