Has anyone taken the Ellis and ociates lifeguard training program?

yes i workd as a lifegaurd for six flages feista texas and had to take the ellis program basicly i thought that the corse stank i was a competive swmmer and had at the time red cross WSI certafactaion the ellis cl cant compare to the red cross one withc is much more throu we had pepole p our ellis cl that could not swim 100 meaters without a flotation device. the ellis cl neads ot go away but it wont becuse ellis is an insurnce company and anyone who wants to use the insurnce has to have ther gaurds take the ellis cl wereas the red corss is a no proffit oragnasion and dos not cove your park/pool if someone gets hurt.
