FAQs

Find answers to the most common questions about this template.

Is a pool lifeguard certificate different from a waterfront one?

Yes. Pool lifeguards are trained for pools only. Waterfront training adds open water skills, which our Navy Flourish design covers.

Can I add our aquatic center name?

Yes. Fill in the Conducted by field with your center's name.

Can I include water rescue skills separately?

Yes. Split the course line into two skills.

Can I share certificates with our HR team?

Yes. Export a list of issued credentials or share each verification link.
