The Bronze Medallion is the second step towards the lifeguarding certification in Canada, NLS. The award is part of the Lifesaving Society's Bronze series of awards. Bronze Medallion includes water safety, rescues, resuscitation, and an introduction to spinal injury management. It is the prerequisite for Bronze Cross; Standard First Aid with CPR-C and 16 years of age are the prerequisites for NLS. NLS is the only valid lifeguarding certification in Canada. The Bronze Medallion endurance swim requirement is 500 meters in 15 minutes using any combination of strokes.
For a description of the Medallion itself see Bronze Medallion (New Zealand and Australia).
