Which option correctly describes the Bridge Course?

• A. Bridge Course gives participants with current ARC Shallow Water Lifeguarding or Aquatic Attraction Lifeguarding certification the opportunity to gain additional knowledge and skills in order to obtain an ARC Lifeguarding certification.
• B. Bridge Course is a mandatory prerequisite for all lifeguard training.
• C. Bridge Course replaces all practical assessments with online simulations.
• D. Bridge Course is only for recertification of current lifeguards.

Answer: (A)

Bridge Course is for people who already hold a current ARC Shallow Water Lifeguarding or ARC Aquatic Attraction Lifeguarding certification and provides a path to obtain the ARC Lifeguarding certification by updating and expanding their knowledge and skills. It isn’t a universal prerequisite for all lifeguard training, and it doesn’t replace practical assessments with online simulations. It’s not limited to recertification, but rather helps someone with an existing credential upgrade to the full ARC Lifeguarding certification by filling any gaps in knowledge and skills.
