Vancouver Lifeguard Association

I really enjoyed this course and felt very confident in my knowledge towards the end. Excellent instructor … teaching in a way I can retain the knowledge well. Would recommend VLA as the instructors are very experienced and gave many tips and stories about various situations that may arise.

Sepherr is an AMAZING coach. So patient and so effective. The kids look relaxed and focused at the same time. We were lucky to have him!

These classes are long but allow participants to show their commitment to life guarding and obtaining this level of training, and have the much needed time to learn and practice everything required. Highly recommend this and looking forward to Bronze Cross

Great way for kids to start training for the requirements of Bronze Medallion. Thanks so much for putting on this class

Craig is a great Instructor! It was a pleasure to participate in the National Lifeguard Recertification, would definetly recommend to others.

Excellent program. My child is swimming with so much confidence. Very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere and no pressure. The coaches are fantastic.

What a great program, Sammy loved it!
He moved to the intermediate after the first class because the age gap was too large between Sammy and the young kids. Teens generally dont wanna hang out with the very young kids. We’re happy there was room to move to a more appropriate age group

My kid is not very enthusiastic about this activity that is mandatory in our house, but he said the main instructor for this course was very nice and based on the class I observed, I was super impressed with what they were doing/learning (just wish they’d use a Vancouver rec centre pool-this is so far).

A fantastic program with amazing instructors! Thank you for your dedication.

Fun and educational class!!

That was a nice experience 🤩

Very thorough teaching and we had a great instructor Craig!! Thank you!!

Both kids enjoyed the training especially the first aid section.

Good experience. On time. Seems thorough. Confusion about needing the alert manual for homework to beable to answer the questions.

So happy that this practice group for Bronze Medallion was added this term. It was a great way for my daughter to start learning the requirements for this lifeguarding level. The instructors were excellent and my daughter really enjoyed coming to the sessions. Highly recommend it.

A great course with so many benefits for swimmers. The instructors were knowledgable and organized.
