Goal #
114 "Get first aid certification"
completed April 13, 2000 @ Canadian University College Pool, AB
 |
This
was a component in my goal #54 (lifeguarding)- the AEC part. I got my
National Lifeguarding Standard
(NLS), Aquatic Emergency
Care, O2 Administration,
Senior Resuscitation, Bronze
Cross, and Bronze Medallion.
They are available for viewing if you click on them, but they all look
the same. The people in the class were loads of fun. Here are their names: Matt, Kristin, Cara, Kim, Alicia, Charla, Sarah, Sabrina, Adrianna, Deanna and ME. Lynn and Pattie taught the class at the CUC pool. Good times with spinals, hypothermia sits and eggbeaters. I need to get back into the pool! |
