BREVARD COUNTY • PALM BAY, FLORIDA – Not everyone is cut out to be a lifeguard.
Testing is rigorous and the job is physically demanding and challenging.

The center is at 420 Community College Parkway, just south of the Brevard Community College Campus.

The cost is $160 and must be paid upon successful completion of a skills test.
Class size is limited and pre-registration is recommended.
Interested candidates must be a minimum of age 15, be able to swim 300 yards nonstop (freestyle and breaststroke), swim 20 yards, pick up a 10-pound object and return to the starting point in 1 minute and 40 seconds and tread water with legs only for 2 minutes.
This activity is sponsored by Brevard County Parks and Recreation Department.
