SOC Swim Camp/Lifeguard Training
-
The Lifeguard Training program for students who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing in the County of El Paso, will be a great way for students to earn a certification in not only lifeguarding, but also in First Aid and CPR - both will help them to qualify for many jobs not related to lifeguarding. Additionally, this program helps students understand the process of earning a certification and the benefits of holding a certificate, which increases their professional credibility and makes them more marketable.
