You took the course by Leo?? He always fumed at the prices jews are charging....

Took it by Leo. He had many things he didn't like about the way jews do the courses. One of the only ones I agree with is the prices are out of hand.
I'm willing to crash the market (by charging 250-300 max) but I wouldn't do it single handedly.

It seems that in order to be certified WSI you need to now be part of a origination and it cost money per year while its always been free. anyone have any insight what can be done here or there is no way out of this? Thanks
Did you find more info..
Are there any WSI courses going on this winter?
Or would anyone want to form a group, and go straight to Leo

Your best bet is to get i believe its at least 4 ppl and go straight to Leo. A guy shragi bergman in lkwd also does it but I am sure his prices are way higher.

Just fyi Leo is tough and if he doesnt think you can do it he will fail you.

In NJ
Becoming a lifeguard 8 years ago I paid $300.  I bacame an instructor almost 7years ago. That costed me $275. 
Now I charge $165 for renewals and $400 for first timers. This includes book and mask. (The going rate in lakewood now $400-$450 not including book!! -I can't in good conscience charge that...)

You do realize that most people look at it differently. The amount of money that a LG can make each summer is more then 10 times that. Same with WSI and LTI. Most jewish instructors such as the BP Y and others charge 750-1000. Again, a head LG can pull in 10 times that in one summer.

Rather then start a new thread I figured this was the best place to put this.

Calling on all DDF to get this circulated en masse, this should be plastered on every lamp post and tree for the duration of the summer/swimming season



I attached it also so it's full size.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.
