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!

Excellent. Craig was a super experienced & knowledgeable. A great instructor. The facilities were really nice & with just a small group of dedicated students = my daughter had a positive experience & success.

Craig was amazing. Our son came back tired and excited after each class. Wanting to study before and after each day. Could not have asked for a better program and NL instructor. Thanks very much!!

Super great and super nice. Loved it so much!!

Excellent instructor, a lot of pool time to practice drills.

It was a very well structured, efficient course.
It was very well taught.
Thank you.

My 13 year old was nervous/hesitant to take Bronze Medallion (worried he was too small and inexperienced compared to some of the older kids). Thanks to the excellent (and kind/patient) instructors and the excellent prep from taking Jr Lifeguards with Kate before this course, he was really well equipped and actually really enjoyed the course materials and delivery. He speaks highly of the staff/faculty and their clear instruction, support, and feedback.
I highly recommend any class/program from the Jr Lifeguard Assoc. and expect there are a lot of well trained, prepared and judicious young lifeguards on the horizon.

Our son loved the VLA private lessons. He learned a lot and enjoyed the instructions and guidance. Fabulous instructor.

Excellent instructors. Great guidance and instructions. Our son really enjoyed the Vancouver Lifeguard Cross Practice sessions. Pleased to highly recommend VLA to everyone looking to develop their swimming and lifeguarding skills.

Great program - kids have fun in and out of the water while learning.
Love that kids were graded not only on their current level, but were given credit for a higher level if they were able to complete/achieve the goal. Not sure if this is still the case anymore as we did not get back the progress report that we brought on the first day of class.
