Printing notes: This landscape design is sized for both A4 and US Letter. Download the print-ready PDF and print at 100% scale on 200 to 300 gsm card for a sturdy finish, or send it digitally with a verification link. Many aquatic facilities also hand out a wallet-sized card, so you can print a smaller copy for lifeguards to keep on the pool deck. Keep the instructor name, training date and "valid for 2 years" line visible so facility managers can check each candidate's certification at a glance.
