The Fargo Park District prioritizes fun and safety at our pools, primarily provided by our lifeguards and water safety instructors. Fargo Parks offers a Lifeguard Certification Program for ages 15 and older, along with a Water Safety Instructor Program for ages 16 and up.
Lifeguard Certification and Water Safety Instructor
American Red Cross Lifeguard Certification courses are available through the Fargo Park District. This course is now a blended learning course which requires registrants to complete the online portion prior to the in-water portion of the course. Each course is limited to the first ten registrants.
This course is for those who want to get certified in the necessary skills to teach swimming lessons and a variety of water safety presentations. This course meets 10 times for three hours.
Fargo Park District Programs & Leagues
All Fargo Park District programs and leagues are first come first serve. Please be advised, a lot of programs and leagues fill up before the registration deadline. You cannot register for a program or league that is already full. Some programs and leagues have waitlists. If you are on a waitlist, you are NOT registered and are only contacted if a spot becomes available.
