Aquatics for Work is a two credit package which prepares, trains and certifies students for work in the aquatics
industry. This unique learning experience is offered second semester in partnership with the City of Barrie Parks and
Recreation Department. Students will be eligible to earn two high school credits, certification in Bronze Medallion,
Bronze Cross, CPR, First Aid and National Lifeguard Service (NLS), as well as on the job training work experience. There
is a cost of approximately $550 associated with this program due to the cost of certifications and facilities. This is a
limited enrolment program and students selecting this option should be able to swim sufficiently well in order to work
towards their NLS certification.
Prerequisite: Students MUST be at least 16 on or before the last day of classes of the semester they are enrolled in the
course.
