Save a Life, it might be your own!

No prior experience is needed.
The session will take place outdoors at Forest Ridge Park's waterfront and have attendees actively participate, including getting into the water at Falls Lake and practicing scenarios along the shoreline. All equipment is provided. Participants under 16 must be accompanied by a registered adult. Please contact Forest Ridge Park for more information.
