Air Quality
We have adopted the following guidelines for recreational programs during times of poor air quality. The guideline is based on Air Quality Index (AQI) levels as established by the Bay Area Quality Management District. When the air quality index reaches the red zone (151 to 200) or above, outside activities and programs will be suspended. Indoor activities and programs will be suspended when air quality gets into the purple zone (201 to 250) or above. We will monitor the air quality daily and notify you if there is a cancellation or postponement.
Participants should bring a swimsuit, towel, sun protection, snacks/lunch and a water bottle each day.
ALL online 'Blended Learning' course work must be completed before the first day of the class, please bring proof of completion. Instructions will be sent no later than a week before the first scheduled class.
Please plan to complete all eLearning modules, including the CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers and First Aid final eLearning exam prior to your first in-person skills session. Most participants complete the eLearning portion of the course in approximately 7 hours. Your experience may vary widely based on several factors including your PC, internet speed and previous training. I recommend beginning the online session as soon as possible to ensure that you are able to complete all eLearning modules prior to the first in-person skill session.
In-person skill session schedule:
Friday, January 3rd: 4pm-8pm
Saturday, January 4th: 9am-6pm
Sunday, January 5th: 9am-6pm
