Attention MHHS students interested in becoming American Red Cross Lifeguard Certified.  MHHS is tentatively hosting its second Lifeguard Training as a fundraiser for the MHHS Aquatics programs.  This service is being offered through the East Bay Regional Parks District and is the second time we are offering the training on our campus.  This certification is a nationally recognized training that allows students to be eligible for lifeguarding jobs here at the MHHS pool during the CSD summer swim program, or in pools and water parks all over the region.

It is important to note that the training is a significant commitment including a prerequisite skills test, a fee of $100 per student, and a 7 hour online pre-training course that must be completed prior to the first day of training.  Students who are interested should sign up TODAY as the interest form will serve as our priority list.  The course fee will not be due until after the prerequisite skills test is completed. Prerequisites to taking the course includes being able to swim a 300-yard swim using front crawl or breaststroke, a 2-minute tread using legs only and the ability to retrieve a 10-lb dive weight from 7 ft deep, surface and swim 20 yds with the weight, using legs only and exit the pool without using a ladder within 100 seconds. Participants must also be 15 years old by the last day of the training.  

We encourage all interested students to sign up today for their spot at this training.
