Water Safety Training in Folsom, PA and Across the Region
Drowning is fast, silent, and often preventable. The people closest to the water, from lifeguards to parents, are the ones who make the difference. Tri-State Training and Safety Consulting teaches aquatic staff, camps, families, and community groups how to prevent water emergencies and respond when seconds count. We deliver water safety training at our centers and on-site across the region and nationwide.
WATER SAFETY TRAINING
Water Safety Training for Staff and Families
Our headquarters is located at 228 Ridley Ave in Folsom, PA. We offer training at each of our centers and travel to pools, camps, and facilities across the region and nationwide. Our instructors bring real emergency-response experience, so participants learn practical skills from people who have handled real situations.
This training works for two groups. Aquatic professionals learn the rescue and response skills their role demands, while parents, caregivers, and community members learn how to keep the people they love safe around water. No swimming expertise is required to take part.
Why Water Safety Matters
A little preparation goes a long way around water. Here is what this training does for your team or your family.
Prevent Drownings
Learn to spot the quiet signs of a swimmer in trouble and stop an emergency before it starts.
Respond With Confidence
Know exactly what to do in the first moments of a water emergency, from reaching a swimmer to starting CPR.
Protect Your Facility or Family
Give your aquatic staff or your household the skills and habits that keep everyone safer near the water.
WHAT YOU'LL PRACTICE
What You Will Learn
Participants practice real skills under instructor supervision. The training covers:
How to recognize the signs of a drowning or distressed swimmer
Reaching and throwing rescues that keep the rescuer safe
Safe water entry and assists when a rescue is needed
CPR and AED use for aquatic emergencies
Drowning prevention, layers of protection, and active supervision
Pool, lake, and open-water safety practices
Our instructors bring field experience to every session and give participants direct feedback. People leave knowing how to act, not just what to read in a handbook.
Who Should Take This Training
This training fits both aquatic professionals and members of the public. It is a strong fit for:
Lifeguards and pool staff
Parents, grandparents, and caregivers
Aquatic facilities, swim schools, and water parks
Summer camps, day camps, and camp counselors
Homeowners with a backyard pool or hot tub
Anyone who spends time near pools, lakes, or the shore
This training goes beyond a swim lesson. Participants learn to spot trouble early, perform reaching and throwing rescues, and start CPR after a water emergency. Sessions are shaped to fit your group, whether that is a lifeguard team or a family who wants to stay safe at the pool.
Training at Our Locations and On-Site Nationwide
Sessions are held at each of our training centers. Our headquarters is in Folsom, PA, with additional locations in Allentown, Doylestown, King of Prussia, and Langhorne in Pennsylvania, and in Marlton, New Jersey. You may schedule at whichever location is most convenient.
For aquatic staff and groups, we come to you. On-site training lets your team practice at your own pool or facility and gets everyone trained together in a single session. We travel throughout the region and nationwide for groups of any size.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the water safety training?
Most sessions run approximately two to three hours, depending on group size and whether CPR and AED practice is included. We can confirm an exact length based on the training you choose and the size of your group.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer to take this class?
No. Much of water safety is about prevention and non-swimming rescues such as reaching and throwing assists. We tailor the session to your group, whether they are trained lifeguards or parents who want to keep their kids safe.
Is this training right for parents and families?
Absolutely. We regularly train parents, caregivers, and community groups on drowning prevention, supervision, and how to respond to a water emergency at home or on vacation. No professional background is needed.
Can you train my staff or group at our pool or facility?
Yes. On-site training is the most effective way we deliver this course, since your team practices in the same environment they work in. Give us a group size and location, and we schedule instruction that fits your operation.
Does this course include CPR?
CPR and AED skills for aquatic emergencies are built into the training, since a water rescue often leads directly into resuscitation. If you need a standalone certification, ask us and we can pair this with one of our CPR courses.
