Program & Curriculum Approvals

The WASH lifeguard certification curriculum and program has been developed, reviewed and edited by physicians, nurses, professional lifeguards, emergency services professionals, educators, and others who have worked in a wide variety of professions and who have a variety of professional experiences and knowledge. Printing paperback manuals are now available HERE. The electronic versions of the manuals will be available, free of charge, to those who register for a course.

We continue to work with thousands of approval processes; developing an understanding of exactly which documents are required in each jurisdiction; learning exactly who to contact in each jurisdiction; and learning what content is required in each jurisdiction (we have discovered it is not all uniform). As we do this, we will continue to:

  • advertise & market the WASH lifeguard certification program and curriculum to raise awareness of this new training option
  • accept applications to become a WASH Instructor and/or Authorized Training Center (ATC)
  • only sell the service/product in jurisdictions in which the program has received approval
