Usually YMCA offers the class. Find one in your area that has swimming pool.

Assuming that you need a lay rescuer card (your not working as a nusre, paramedic, ect) you can probaly find a class via your local fire department or hospital.  If they don't offer one they should be able to help you find one.   If your needing a healthcare provider card I would also check with the same places although your chances of finding a free class are not as good.\n\nIf they are not able to help you you can check out the American Heart Assoc website (link below) to find training centers in your area.  Just start calling.  You can also check out the rescue breather site for a listing of instructors in your area.  (they however mostly work for proffit)\n\nPlease let me know where you live and I will see if I can find one for you\n\nJay

check with your local YMCA or even the collage campus both usually have swim instructors. another possibility is any lifeguard service in your area. just remember Private instructor $$$ due to liability. you could also try teaching yourself.\nbut also remember at that age seeing others their age do something helps them overcome some of there own fears.

Go to a pool store and buy some test strips.  Lowes or Home Depot may stock them.

Call you local red cross office.  They will have a list of offerings to get your Life Gaurd certification.  YOu will also want to get a WSI (Water Safety Instructor) certification too.  They will have all the information.

there are different types of certs (ymca/red cross/county) but if you are taking a red cross course you will have to do the following:\n\n-swim 500 yards in under something like 10-12 mins\n-there is some treading water, i believe it involves holding a 10 lb brick or similar device\n-there is a lot of classroom work which includes first aid, and usually cpr pro/aed also...this mostly covers types of rescues, proper entries, basic responsibilities of lgs, scanning, first aid application, even legal obligation\n-finally there are written tests for all three (lifeguarding/cpr/first aid)\n-there is also in the water testing of rescues which involves different scenarios and you have to physically act as a lifeguard to demonstrate a number of rescues; be they swimming a victim to the side of the pool or backboarding someone\n\nthat's basically it...it's not all that bad.
