A five-day course taught by professional instructors from American Aquatics
and Safety Training, a prestigious New York institution.
The significance of this training session is that these trainers will in turn be able to certify multiple lifeguards in the north shore and throughout the country.
“The goal is to create decent jobs, educate the Dominican youth in swimming and lifesaving techniques so that our destination is at the level of destinations like Canada, Australia,
and Hawaii.”

Conditions were fierce, with strong gusts and 5 feet waves as tropical storm weather took over the first few days of training; perfect for honing strong, fearless lifesavers.
