Lifesaving Resources announces its 2009 schedule of Ice Rescue and Water Rescue training programs for the Public Safety and Rescue Sector, as well as the Lifeguard and Aquatic Recreation Sectors.
Two Train-the-Trainer Academies will be conducted for representatives of First Responders Agencies from throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The Academies are physically-intensive training programs and are conducted from Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon. The Academies are as follows:
