American Red Cross of Central Florida 

Aquatic Examiner Service

The American Red Cross Aquatic Examiner Service is an extension of the Red Cross Lifeguarding Program. It is based on the training and expertise provided to lifeguards through Red Cross courses and modules. The Aquatic Examiner Service is designed to be integrated into current aquatic facility management practices to assist aquatic facilities in the development of practices and procedures to achieve a professional lifeguard operation. The service includes three components:

• An Initial Conference. An aquatic examiner service administrator visits an aquatic facility, collects data, and reviews the facility's current operational and emergency procedures.
  
  
• Lifeguard and Support Personnel Training. Annual preseason testing, annual Red Cross training and in-service training are conducted.
  
  
• On-Site Lifeguarding Evaluations. An aquatic examiner makes periodic unannounced site visits to observe lifeguarding operations, evaluate skills of selected lifeguards and performs a check of the aquatic facility related lifeguarding operations.
