Why Us

School & Community Groups

CVSC makes a splash in the community! Each semester, the Swim Center hosts and co-teaches two Douglas High School aquatics classes, offering students the chance to learn valuable swimming and safety skills. And when summer rolls around, the Swim Center hires 25-30 lifeguards and cashiers, making it one of the largest teen employers in Douglas County. These dedicated young adults are certified in everything from CPR and first aid to the administration of oxygen, and many go on to pursue careers in public safety and healthcare.

But that’s not all! The Swim Center is also a popular destination for school field trips and other organized events, attracting students from all over Northern Nevada and even California. And for local youth, the Swim Center is more than just a place to swim – it’s a safe and welcoming environment where they can hang out, do homework, and socialize with friends until their guardians arrive.

Junior Lifeguard Classes

The Carson Valley Swim Center Junior Lifeguard program will be launching its eight-day session starting Monday. As a participant, you will receive an introduction to the lifeguarding profession and the skills needed to eventually become a lifeguard and save lives. These skills include responding to emergencies, treating minor and major first aid; and certification in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR. From back boarding a spinal victim to rescuing a swimmer in distress, by the end of the course your water rescues will be at top standards. To cap off the training we will have water rescue relays and even an inner tube relay.
