CPR & First Aid Training in Dillon, Colorado
American Heart Association certified CPR and first aid classes serving Dillon's marina community, water sports enthusiasts, and Summit County residents.
Life-Saving Skills for Dillon's Waterfront Community
Dillon, Colorado sits at the heart of Summit County alongside the stunning Dillon Reservoir, one of Colorado's largest bodies of water at over 3,200 surface acres. Known locally as "Lake Dillon," this high-altitude reservoir draws thousands of boaters, sailors, paddleboarders, and anglers each year, making water safety and emergency response skills essential for the community. Our CPR classes in Dillon prepare local residents and workers with the life-saving techniques needed in this unique lakeside environment.
The Dillon Marina serves as a hub of activity during summer months, with boat rentals, sailing lessons, and fishing excursions operating daily. Whether you work at the marina, manage one of the many vacation rentals surrounding the reservoir, or simply enjoy recreational activities on the water, CPR certification gives you the confidence to respond effectively when emergencies occur. Cold water immersion, boating accidents, and altitude-related incidents all present unique challenges that trained responders can address.
At 9,017 feet elevation, Dillon presents the same high-altitude considerations found throughout Summit County. Visitors often underestimate how elevation affects both physical exertion and emergency response. Our instructors incorporate altitude awareness into every training session, ensuring Dillon residents and workers understand how thin mountain air impacts CPR technique and victim care.

Why Dillon Residents Need CPR & First Aid Training
Dillon's location on the shores of Colorado's largest reservoir creates unique emergency response needs. Water-based activities carry inherent risks, from boating accidents to cold water immersion. The Dillon Marina, Frisco Bay Marina, and numerous boat ramps see thousands of visitors during summer months, many of whom are inexperienced with high-altitude recreation.
The town's position along Interstate 70 also means exposure to travelers passing through Summit County, some experiencing altitude sickness or medical emergencies far from their home hospitals. Local businesses along Lake Dillon Drive, including restaurants, shops, and lodging properties, benefit greatly from having CPR-certified staff who can respond while emergency services are en route.
Summit County's emergency medical services are well-trained and equipped, but response times can vary depending on location and traffic conditions. Immediate bystander CPR dramatically improves survival rates for cardiac arrest victims—every minute without CPR reduces survival chances by 7-10%. Trained community members in Dillon serve as a critical first link in the chain of survival.
