Lifeguard Classes in Las Vegas, NV

Lifeguards perform an essential service for pool-goers and pool establishments alike. If you’d like to serve as a lifeguard, sign up for lifeguard classes with Lifeguard Staff in Las Vegas, NV.

Whenever people gather to cool off at a pool, there is always a risk that someone might drown.
