How often should lifeguards redo their certifications?

Lifeguards are required to renew their certifications every two years to ensure that they remain up to date with the latest techniques, knowledge, and practices in lifeguarding, first aid, and CPR. This two-year recertification cycle is critical because it helps maintain high safety standards and ensures that lifeguards are prepared to handle emergencies effectively. Regular training refreshes their skills and reinforces critical lifesaving techniques, which can be crucial in high-pressure situations.

The time period set for recertification is based on research and best practices in the field, reflecting the need for continued education and skills assessments to remain effective lifeguards.
