NRPA knows how important a comprehensive aquatics program is to your community and has heard your financial challenges delivering these programs. We listened and acted.
We encourage you to compare the new partnership programs below. We want to give you more choices and more flexibility; while still delivering access to state-of-the-art training courses and cutting-edge resources and tools. We’re confident that members will see the benefit of these competitive prices and savings.
American Red Cross
The American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.
On behalf of members, NRPA approached the Red Cross and advocated for a reduced pricing module that is beneficial universally for the field and aquatics providers. Due to our efforts, and additional considerations by the Red Cross, they have developed a new pricing structure that will charge an affordable per facility fee with added benefits and the student fees will now be reduced to $1.00 per student. Additionally, NRPA members will receive a 10 percent discount on all aquatic printed and web-based materials. The Red Cross discounts apply to each individual program with more savings opportunities for multiple programs.
Ellis & Associates
Ellis & Associates is a Texas based corporation whose mission is to reduce the loss of life due to drowning.
NRPA also approached Ellis & Associates so its members can now sign up for the International Lifeguard Training Program (ILTP) Training Center and/or the Jeff Ellis Swimming Program (JES) to receive significant savings on fees, trainings, course kits, annual required program reviews, JES program coordinator and instructor trainings, skill cards and more. Percentages on their programs range up to more than 40% savings.
Starfish Aquatic Institute (SAI)
SAI’s mission is to reduce drowning and save lives by providing reputable and responsive aquatic safety training programs and services delivered to the public through a network of friendly, knowledgeable aquatic professionals who serve as independent authorized training providers.
And finally, NRPA coordinated with SAI so members would have the option of signing up for their Starguard Lifeguard Training Program and Starfish Swimming Instruction Program together to reap a 20 percent discount on their all-inclusive start-up and training package. SAI also offers the option to sign up for each program individually for 15 and 10 percent discount respectively. NRPA members who are existing authorized providers of SAI programs will receive a 20 percent discount on selected program-related products offered throughout the year.
