Awards: Bronze Medallion

 

The Lifesaving Society’s Bronze Medallion Award teaches an understanding of the lifesaving principles embodied in the four components of water rescue education – judgment, knowledge, skill, and fitness. Rescuers learn tows and carries, and defense and release methods in preparation for rescues of conscious and unconscious victims. Lifesavers develop stroke efficiency and endurance in a timed swim.

Bronze Cross is a prerequisite for all advanced training programs including National Lifeguard and Instructor certification. We teach this award together with Emergency First Aid due to a large overlap of information.
