Below you can find some information on the Academy, we will keep you posted for more!

Drowning Resuscitation & First Aid (following international standards) will be part of the Academy curriculum.

Training for lifesaving will include rescue simulations where you learn to approach a victim, and practice rescues with different equipment. Including rescue boards, cans, and tubes.

Swim times will be taken as they are important in the line of work to demonstrate your comfort and adaptability.

The STLG Academy graduates will receive a certificate from STLG certifying their completion of a 70 hour curriculum.

The certificate will be valid to volunteer with Santa Teresa lifeguards, and other organizations accepting volunteers (the acceptance of our certificate for international associations all vary depending on what guarding courses they recognize and allow).
