2020 Bronze Revisions Update
In 2020 the Lifesaving Society released the revised Bronze medal awards. The update improves skill progressions for a seamless flow into National Lifeguard and sets candidates up for success as they move through the Society’s lifesaving, assistant lifeguard and lifeguard continuum.
We outline the changes in three communiques:
• What’s new for instructors?
• What’s new for recertifying Bronze Cross candidates?
• What’s new for affiliates?
Highlights include:
• Bronze Star focuses on swimming proficiency, lifesaving skill and physical fitness.
• Bronze Medallion reintroduces lifesaving strokes.
• Bronze Cross introduces fundamental assistant lifeguard skills.
• Standardized Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross recertification exams.
There are no changes to prerequisites.
