AMERICAN RED CROSS AQUATICS PROGRAMMING

Every year, through more than 700 local chapters, the American Red Cross trains more than 250,000 lifeguards and teaches more than 2 million people of all ages to swim. The goal of the Red Cross is to work with aquatic facilities throughout the U.S. to help keep people safe in, on and around the water. Aquatics International is pleased to host this information portal to provide quick and easy access to some of the latest updates about Red Cross aquatic programs and services.
