Town of Clifton Park
Free American Red Cross Lifeguard Certification Program
For the fourth consecutive year, Supervisor Barrett, as Chairman of the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors and the Saratoga County Department of Aging and Youth Services, announces a sponsorship opportunity for FREE American Red Cross Lifeguard and/or Water Safety Instructor training. With New York State funding from the Office of Children and Family Services, there will be 20 slots available for people 15 to 17 years old to obtain lifeguard certification and become employable for the 2026 summer season!
This program has assisted Clifton Park and other communities in increasing the number of certified lifeguards working in our communities following a sharp drop in numbers during the Pandemic. We consistently need more lifeguards in an effort to build back our team to pre-pandemic levels. The free training opportunity eliminates the barrier of training expenses and allows lifeguards to be certified in advance of the 2026 pool season. For general information regarding lifeguard opportunities, please contact the Clifton Park Parks and Recreation department at 518-371-6667.
