Level III and IV Aquatic Supervisory Staff are required to possess American Red Cross (ARC) Community Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or equivalent certifications (except when staff are employed at bathing facilities that are part of a temporary residence or campground). As a result of changes to ARC's curriculum, the code standard "Community CPR" is no longer taught. Current ARC certifications are listed as acceptable equivalents.
