The Bronze Star is the first step towards the lifeguarding certification in Canada. The award is part of the Lifesaving Society's Bronze series of awards. It teaches an understanding of the lifesaving principles embodied in three components of water rescue education: knowledge, skill, and fitness[1]. It is a prerequisite for Bronze Medallion[2]
Prerequisites[edit]
