How to Register:
We strongly encourage everyone to register prior to the
first day listed above by mail as our program can fill up. You can register at
the front desk of the YMCA at any time. Please be aware that both time slots
have limited room in the classes and when they are full, no more registrations
will be taken.
The benefits to doing your lifesaving and
lifeguard training as a member of Sask-Rescue are many including:
-
Individual training: If you
need more time to complete an award, it’s available. If you are able to
complete an award quicker, you do. If you need help with a specific skill,
you get it.
-
Continuous Training: Those
members that stay members year after year become experts in the field of
aquatic lifesaving & lifeguarding. Their skills and abilities far surpass
those that once certified in an award don’t continue to practice and learn.
-
Family Opportunities:
With our practices being at the Saskatoon YMCA, the swim lessons being
offered, the games room and fitness rooms being open during practice, the
entire family can now involved in swimming and exercise at the same time.
-
Employment: Part time
and full time employment as a lifeguard and instructor with any of
Saskatoon’s, Saskatchewan’s and Canada’s aquatic facilities. Our club is
recognized as one of the most demanding and successful training
organizations in Saskatchewan. The fact that our coaches have won the
Saskatchewan Provincial Lifeguard Championships 13 years out of the last 15
along with the 2006 Manitoba Provincial Lifeguard Championships probably has
something to do with that.
-
Leadership Skills:
Opportunities to learn and practice leadership skills that have far-reaching
implications beyond that of just in the aquatic environment. Many of our
members, especially those who continue on to the lifeguard club, have
indicated that the leadership and group work skills they learned in Sask-Rescue
has continued to help them in other areas as they move through
post-secondary training and careers.
-
Friendships:
Friendships that will last a lifetime. This is one of those immeasurable
benefits that only a member driven club can give. As with any team and
group of individuals that work together for a long period of time and doing
things that all of them enjoy, they are able to trust and rely on each other
for more than just help with a patient removal.
