Red Cross Learning Center includes general safety guidance, guidelines for teaching appropriate classes with social distancing (if able to teach in accordance to state and local guidelines), and information on the 120-day extension for base level lifeguarding and CPR Pro certification. The NJ DOH just approved this 120-day extension. This is not an automatic extension. As an AP/LTP, you can enter the course for your guards or they can do it themselves. The American Red Cross 120-Day Certification Extension Course may be accessed here: 120-Day Cert. Course
