Want to hone your skills in the pool and take a deep dive into public safety? This might just be the opportunity to jump on.
With summer just around the corner, it's time to quickly learn how to effectively watch over swimmers and ensure everyone's safety. The center's trained Lifeguard Instructors are set to help participants, aged 15 and up, in practicing their life-saving skills from 5 to 7 p.m. through April 25. And the best part? According to the announcement on Raleigh's official website, the training won’t cost you a dime.
