More lifeguard opportunities are now available as the province has dropped the minimum age for certification to 15 years of age. Locally this is good news.
We spoke with Emily Wimpenny, Director of Regional Operations and Programs at the YMCA, who told us more.
She says getting the word out about this change is the most important thing.
Wimpenny added that the standards have not changed for certification, just the minimum age requirement.
The changes do align, with the Lifesaving Society’s certification course.
