Community Certification Classes
Hosted at Forest Oaks

Forest Oaks Swim and Racquet Club is here for our community.

We offer American Red Cross Certification classes throughout the

year ranging from First Aid and CPR certifications to Babysitting

to Lifeguarding. All classes are open to the community as well as

non-residents of the District.

​

Pricing for certification classes is based on Forest Oaks

Membership status, in-district or out-of-district residency status,

and expenses related to the training being provided.

​

All classes are taught by certified instructors and use American

Red Cross training materials and resources. Upon successful

completion of a certification, you will receive your certification through the email used for registration, unless you provide a different email address during class. Certifications have varying lengths of validation.

​

If you have a group who is looking for a training course, please feel free to contact Forest Oaks and speak to our Aquatics Manager, Carlee Nava-Schmidt. We are happy to work with your group to create a custom certification class. Pricing for custom classes will be determined by the size of the group, number of instructors needed, and any supplies or equipment needed to conduct the class.
