Aquatic Emergency Care & CPR-C
If you are planning on becoming a professional lifeguard, or looking for more comprehensive first aid and lifesaving training, Aquatic Emergency Care (AEC) will give you the edge. AEC provides hands-on training in the care of illness and injury common to both aquatic and non-aquatic settings. AEC is standard first aid equivalent with CPR-C, and here at the Terrace Aquatic Centre includes oxygen therapy and certification in Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
