On Aug. 5 Branson’s Parks & Recreation Department will host a free Water Safety and Survival Skills Class at the Branson AquaPlex, located at 1501 Branson Hills Pkwy.
The class will be from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and according to a press release will “instruct attendees on in-water survival skills, rescue techniques, and hands only CPR.” It is designed for those 16-years old and older “who want to gain confidence around the water and for those who find themselves in situations where they may need to care for others around bodies of water.” The class will be provided both in water and on land by certified lifeguard instructor and Branson AquaPlex Pool Manager Bunny Gilchrist.
The public is encouraged to register online or in person at the Branson RecPlex because there are limited spots available for this free class. “Participants will need to bring swimwear and a towel.”
More information on the Branson AquaPlex and online registration is available online.
