It depends on a few things...

Most of the time if you are already employed you will get paid to take the course.

It also depends on what certification you are obtaining. Is it from the Red Cross? The YMCA of the USA? Typically it is around $100-150.

Not much is necessary. The ability to swim a somewhat long distance(normally 20 lengths) is required. Everything else is explained in the course itself. Your instructor will normally demonstrate the technique and as long as you are paying attention, you should be able to imitate.

It is all about technique and a little bit of physical strength, once part of the course has someone grab onto you from behind to simulate a distressed victim who thinks they should be saved first. They will teach you the technique to break this hold, without actually injuring the person.

Another thing is using a backboard. This was the only part of the course that I found difficult. Strapping victims to the board can be difficult and tedious, especially when you are simulating a head injury, requiring you to hold their body and head perfectly still.

Hope some of this was helpful to you.

Ronald Reagan's first job was as a lifeguard in 1927 at Lowell Park, a municipal park along the Rock River in Dixon, Illinois.

The Lifeguard (capitalized - ahem) represents protection, surveillance, good swimming skills, and (most of all) a perfect not-too-dark golden brown tan. Also, wearing a swimsuit to work.

Yes it is! Lifeguard flights are for missions of an urgent medical nature and the call sign is utilized when a flight requires expeditious handling. Air Traffic Control will expedite the handling of aircraft using a lifeguard prefix to their flight identifier. here is a real time flight tracker for Airborne Lifeguard Flights. http://flightaware.com/live/special/lifeguard/

There is not an additional license or certification you can obtain that combines all the licenses and certifications you already have.

in England you will need an NPLQ (national pool lifeguard qualification)- to work at a pool of all types.

and to work at a beach a NBLQ (national beach lifeguard qualification).

this is for England, and is different or the rest of the UK.
