The class has a good amount of requirements that you must fulfill before becoming a certified lifeguard.  There is the test you must pass that is taken from the lifeguarding book and then there are the rescue skills that will be needed in emergency situations that may arrise while one the job.  The skills you learn are oxygen administration, CPR pro, AED administration, and different methods of rescueing different types of victims with different injuries.  You must also be able to swim 500 yards using 200 yds front crawl 100 yds breaststroke and 200 yds choice between the two strokes. *This is the lifeguarding class provided through the Red Cross*

If you are referring to Scuba diving agencies (ie. PADI, SSI, NAUI, etc), the major ones all meet a mimimum standard of skills required to be Open Water certified.  While there are some differences, the biggest factor in your traininig with these agencies will be the instructor.\n\nI would also recommend the course that has the most in water time.   It is tempting to go with the cheapest and fastest training, but the more time/practice you have, the better diver you will be.\n\nPlease see the included source for questions to ask an instructor and have a great time!\n\nBut since you ask about schools, if you are in the Los Angeles area, you are lucky.  The LA County program is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) programs in the US, the recognized as being the most thorough.  This program exceeds the standards of the other more popular agencies (PADI, SSI, NAUI, etc.)

Check at the YMCA or your local pool (they both have swimming classes)

You should find an American Red Cross Learn to Swim Program. Most local pools and athletic clubs offers swim lessons to adults and children. Ask if their instructors are American Red Cross certified. That means they are proficient in each skill and stroke, as well as have been trained in how to teach swim lessons to all ages.

Take a course in first aid and get certified in CPR. You may want to learn about childcare (giving baths, changing diapers, etc) for more experience. I have never heard of a babysitting license?

FIRST you must complete your four years of college, you will major in a subject such as English or Math and in Secondary Education.  Your Education courses will cover the portfolio and required classes.  You will be required to student teach for a semester as well.  It is very likely that it will take you a minimum of 4.5 years if not 5.  The state of WI has standards that you must reach including a Student Teacher Aptitude test, classes in History, the environment, special education (even if you are not a special ed teacher) Wisconsin has some of the most rigorous teaching requirements and most states will accept your degree and certification with no problem.

The Red Cross lifeguarding course is 28 1/4 hours long, minimum. If successful in completing the course you will be certified in lifeguard/first aid & CPR for the professional rescuer. This certification is widely recognized certification but many employers require additional training. Here in Hawaii, in order to be a Ocean Safety Officer (beach lifeguard), you need your Red Cross certification, plus you need to pass a physical training course and additional on the job training.\n\nEven if you are a competitive swimmer you will need to know how to do the elementary backstroke and side strokes (with both regular and inverteed kicks). You will also neeed to practice swimming front crawl and breast stroke with your head out of  the water. Not as easy as it sounds for some competitive swimmers.\n\nThere are no height or physical requirements. Most people who apply themselves to the class are able to pass. It is not an easy course but not one that would be too difficult for someone who has a swimming background and is of average intelligence.

no.  However, safety in numbers, hopefully you know how to swim, always obey posted signs and always obey the life guard.  Swimmers ability is always a factor but should not be the only factor.

I can't tell you that off the top of my head. What you need to do is access the website for the State of Wisconsin, and look for the listings of Senators and their respective districts. Also, you could possibly contact your local Municipal Clerk's office. The public or school library (if you are a student) is a good choice as well.

You definately want to be able to do a background check on them and get references and ask if they are willing to get certified in cpr and first aid or coaches safety training.  You want to ask them about their coaching philosophy and about the type of environment they want to have on the team.  From this question you can see if they will fit with what you want the team to be.  Some swim coaches are very serious, no games, hard practices, all about performance, even in rec leagues, and some coaches see rec leagues as being about the swimmers experience and having it be fun for everyone and giving everyone the chance to swim everything, etc.  You also might want to ask them if they are willing to get into the water in order to help teach beginners on the team.  Also, ask how they do meet entries.  Is it about letting everyone try everything, or will the fastest kids get the most events and the slowest kids get fewer entries with whatever is leftover?  Finally, I'd give them a couple situations and ask how they'd deal with it.  For example, a parent being upset with their kids meet entries, two swimmers verbally or physically fighting at practice, or a parent comes to the coach with concerns that their child is being made fun of or picked on at practice because of their weight or skills.  It is most important to make sure the coach has a coaching philosophy that matches what you want for the team, and that the coach is able to deal with both the parents and swimmers in a manner that you agree with, because that is where most of the problems come from with age-group swim coaches.
