The correct answer is: 2 years

The validity of YMCA lifeguard certification is two years. This timeframe ensures that lifeguards maintain up-to-date knowledge and skills vital for ensuring safety in aquatic environments. Regular recertification helps lifeguards stay informed about the latest techniques, protocols, and any changes in emergency response procedures. This two-year period allows for ongoing education and practice, which is critical in a field where quick decision-making and proficiency in rescue skills can significantly affect the outcome of emergencies.
