Water Safety & Education

Protecting Our Community Through Education and Prevention

At the Jones Beach Lifeguard Association, water safety is more than a priority, it is our mission. As the nonprofit arm supporting the Jones Beach Lifeguard Corps, we are committed to promoting beach safety, drowning prevention, and responsible water recreation throughout Long Island.

Whether you are visiting Jones Beach, Robert Moses or any of our amazing New York State Parks for the first time or are a lifelong ocean swimmer, understanding water safety can save lives.

Training Programs

Lifeguard Certification

Our lifeguard training covers everything candidates need to enter the water with confidence and exit with a life saved. Students learn swim and rescue techniques, proper entry methods for emergency response, victim retrieval, and how to manage aquatic emergencies from first contact to handoff. Certification meets national standards and is recognized by employers and government agencies. Visit Nassau county lifeguard training for more information.  https://lifeguardandsafetytraining.com/ you already have to possess an NYS approved lifeguard training certification. You can get this qualification anywhere – it doesn’t have to be obtained in Nassau County. Online Lifeguard classes are not recognized by New York State Department of Health and in Nassau County.

CPR & AED Training

Cardiac emergencies don’t only happen in the water. CPR and AED training prepares every candidate to respond with speed and competence — whether they’re on duty at the shore, at home, or at work. This training is included in all lifeguard certification programs and is available as a standalone course. https://lifeguardandsafetytraining.com/courses/first-aid/
