Bronze Medallion - Step 1

13+ yrs
Open the door to lifeguarding and teaching. Bronze Medallion teaches an understanding of the lifesaving principles embodied in the four components of water rescue education—judgment, knowledge, skill and fitness. Rescuers learn both tows and carries, and Lifesavers learn to respond to increasingly complex situations involving conscious and unconscious victims with an obstructed airway. Lifesavers also develop stroke efficiency and endurance in a timed swim.
