Has anyone responded or are Wrightwood kids going

Is there a training program in the Wrightwood area for those who are interested? My 17 year old is interested, and has a great personality for it.

The only lifeguard training class I found does not offer the Water Safety Instructor certification. Plus, I called the Parks and Rec from the above post and they said you have to already have all that documentation and certification to apply.

Hey Folks,

My son is planning on taking the American Red Cross Certified Lifeguard course April 9-13 out at Edwards AFB through the Oasis Aquatic Center since they also need lifeguards for their pool over the summer.  He wants to work as a lifeguard at the Methodist Camp this summer and will be 16yrs in May, just in time.

If you want to call them at 661-275-2267 to see about signing-up, they are taking down info and will let us know how much it will be as soon as it is finalized; approx $75.  Its about an hour drive and I may be willing to help carpool.

Perhaps the American Red Cross will schedule a class where the nearest indoor pool is - Phelan perhaps?

When and how do we confirm that the Methodist Church Camp WILL have swim lessons?

I know my son took lessons several years ago there and the lessons were terrific....but do they have it every summer and I have missed them?????

Does anyone know if they found lifeguards? Are there going to be swim lessons? And how do we get info for them?

My daughter has a few more Sundays of lessons to be a lifeguard and will be working at the Country Club.  I don't know where the other students will be working, but the class has been going on for a couple of months now.

I wrote to the Parks & Rec guy a few weeks back. Here's what he said:

We received one app for WSI and one for lifeguard. My prospect for WSI decided last week he did not want to work the summer so I'm back to square one. However, the manager @ the Methodist camp has a WSI prospect so we may have it covered.

The camp doesn't have any info and is only letting Parks & Recreation use the pool.

Any additional info call 249-3205 ask for Ivett (sp?).

I have tried several times calling that number today and no answer.  Will post my findings when I get through for ya all.

Yevette (sp?)  is on vacation this week.
I'll contact the Parks & Rec guy from the county.
