Specialty Track · Lifeguards & Water Safety
Skip the hospital floor shifts. Municipal pools, waterparks, beaches, waterfronts and expedition basecamps staff certified lifeguards and PWC rescue operators through one roster: the commander hires the guards, runs many contracts, and Post Watch shows every chair covered. A lifeguard card plus CPR/AED is the first credential many future medics hold — this track is built to take them in.

What we verify
Three items clear you for Crisis & Behavioral Health seats. The desk verifies each against the issuing body or state board; your compliance packet (licence verification, liability cover, disaster mental health certificates) is bundled automatically for the incident administrator when you accept a seat.

Credential-First Sign-Up
Three steps, under a minute. No password to invent — we email (and text) you a one-time sign-in link. Your credentials are verified after you register, before any employer sees your profile.
First 2,000 operators: first year free. 2,000 of 2,000 places left. Sign up to hold one — your free year of the Credential Vault starts the day you're verified, plus a permanent Founding · 2026 mark. Verify within 60 days to keep the place.
Invited by a teammate — code is applied; you'll both earn Vault credit when you're verified.

Verification & Trust Safeguards
Your licence and each certification are read by a real person on the 3-W desk after registration and before your profile or documents are forwarded to any employer, contractor, or agency. Unverified profiles are never visible to employers.
Licensure and certification uploads are encrypted in transit (TLS), stored in a directory blocked from direct web access, served only to you, the reviewer, and — after you accept a deployment or an interview invitation — that specific contractor, with every admin access recorded in an audit log. We store credentials, not patient records: nothing you upload is protected health information, and we never ask for it.
Search visibility, contact release, crew-call texts, and the shareable credential manifest are each switched on by you, per feature, from your account — and each can be switched off just as easily. Delete your account and your documents go with it.
