Certifications from Campus Rec
Lifeguards, Group Fitness Instructors, and Intramural Officials are a few specialized certifications and trainings students can gain while in college. Campus Recreation staff teach academic courses for to prepare students for each of these positions. The staff offers non-credit courses for lifeguards, swim instructors and group fitness instructors. Intramural officials are trained for each sport pre-season. With national shortages of people to fill each of these positions, students can gain employment both on campus and off with these skills. Group fitness instructors and intramural officials stay in shape while working, an added perk of the job! For more information contact:
Spencer-Jordan@utc.edu for lifeguard and swim instructors training
