Happy Swimmers Life Guard Logo

Happy Swimmers Mobile Lifeguard Training Florida will come out to train your group of at least 6 students in this fun two-day intensive class.  Get Red Cross certified in a weekend instead of dragging things out for 4 or more days at the public programs.

You provide:

  • the pool (at least 7 feet deep) heated to at least 85 degrees or warmer.
  • suitable deck space and/or classroom area.
  • six students, or willing to open up your class to respectful guest students to make that minimum.
  • willing, focused attitudes for the students.
  • students with their online blended learning certificate (6 hours pre-course online),

We provide:

  • The Red Cross blended learning link
  • An incredible, and we mean incredible, highly experienced veteran Lifeguard instructor.
  • 2-year Red Cross certificate in Lifeguard Training/Lifeguard First Aid, CPR and AED to all passing students.  This cert is the foundation for working at swimming pools nationwide.

Some of the areas we serve:  Orlando, Tampa Bay, South Florida, Tallahassee, Atlanta, and beyond.

Mobile Lifeguard Training Florida: Our Complete Course Offerings:

Red Cross Lifeguard Training (LGT) Blended Learning Course

Cost: $274 

Time: Online 7 hours, In-person 20 hours

Designed for first-timers, and lifeguards whose certs have expired. We offer this course as a full 2-day program. Same content as 4-day Park and Rec city program classes, but we condense it with longer days and more focused time, cost $274 generally, depending on location.

Red Cross LGT Review course,

For those whose certs are soon to expire but still certified (30 day grace period allowed). If your cert is expired, take our standard course (still quicker than typical Park and Rec 4 day LGT courses). The review course is typically given as a one 12 hour day, or sometimes two 6-hour days–cost $224. Note: bring your CPR pocket mask from your previous class to use in CPR practice, or purchase a new mask for $10 at class.  For the stand-alone review course rate, the whole class must be set up to be a review course, not mixed with standard 2-day first-timer course participants unless otherwise stated. If you intend to have both types of class on the same weekend, that is ok, but please contact our office to set up the training this special way.

Red Cross Shallow Water Lifeguard Course and One-Day Review Course,

Designed for people who guard at pools up to 5 feet deep. The same pricing as the standard courses above, however, certification is only for shallow water pools, and easier pre-tests, including a 100 yard swim instead of a 300-yard swim.

Waterfront Lifeguard Training

Designed for those needing the certification for guarding at lakes or calm bays. It’s the standard two-day pool lifeguard program plus a 6-hour third day of waterfront skills at your chosen waterfront. Cost is $315 per student all-inclusive.
