Orange County and Inland Empire Lifeguard for Hire Service

Lifeguard Service

Including North and South OC, El Cerito, Carona, Riverside, Temecula, San Bernadino, Palm Springs!

Our Orange County and Inland Empire Lifeguard for Hire service comes to you for children’s pool parties.

Happy Swimmers has served Orange County families since 1995. Hundreds of parties later, one thing is certain: the hosts were happy and wise to have had us. There were seven instances last summer where our professional lifeguards needed to make urgent interventions into the pool at parties we served.

Our remarkable service was even highlighted on NBC4 News!

All staff are Red Cross certified Lifeguards with at least one year experience (no first-timers to guard your kids). Most have several years lifeguard experience and at high volume locations. Wherever there is a pool involved in Orange County (and many other areas), we have staff ready to serve you professionally to maintain a safe and fun environment.

We are the largest private lifeguard service in the country, and with that comes a management team and lifeguard staff to fill your needs. Our rates are on the booking page. We price guarantee our service. If you see a better price out there with our same high quality standards, we will match it. We pay our staff the best rates going, and have a track record of reliability with our staff, which gives us the lowest flaking rate by far of any professional lifeguard company. With a pool full of kids, we don’t want you wondering if the guard will show.

Price for up to 3 hours is $244 per lifeguard.  Need additional guards? Each additional lifeguard for your event is $229 ($15 off each).  Over 3 hours add $28.50/half hour per lifeguard.  Feel free to keep the guards over your original booking pending their schedule.  Our office will bill you.  The booking form on the next page will easily calculate your cost based on your party length and amount of lifeguards.  We’re a cheap alternative to an accident.  Just recently, one guard made 4 rescues to children at a busy party.  Think their parents thought he was worth it?

Abigail Garcia, Event Lifeguard, Traveler, Dancer, and Dog-Mom

Los Angeles, Simi Valley / Moorpark, Orange County / Inland Empire

Hello, I am CSUN Grad with a background in Child Development. I have been working with children since 2018. As well as have been a lifeguard and swim instructor since the summer of 2018 and recently for the past two summers I have also been teaching aquarobics. My love for the water was born during High School when I joined the swim team and the water polo team. Once, I graduated High School I knew I wanted to be in the water in any shape or form, so I decided to become a lifeguard and swim instructor for all ages. A fun fact about me is that as much as I love the water, I love the dancefloor.

Serving: Los Angeles, Simi Valley / Moorpark, Orange County / Inland Empire

Andre Flores, Lifeguard for Hire

Los Angeles and Orange Counties

I’ve lifeguarded for several different facilities both in SoCal and NorCal and enjoyed the learning experience from it! I genuinely enjoy lifeguarding because of the difference we make in preventing life threatening situations. A fun fact about me is I both play and coach competitive water polo at the college and high school level currently, so I guess its nice to learn the game from both perspectives.

I serve the LA and OC communities of Montebello, Anaheim, Pomona, Pasadena, among others. 

Angela Nichols, Lifeguard, Swim Instructor – *Has Pool Access

home in Anaheim, 10 years experience!

13 years experience swim teaching! *Has Pool Access in Anaheim

General Areas I serve:Anaheim, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach

In my ten years as a swim instructor I have taught swim lessons to children of all ages, adults learning to swim for the first time, and adults taking lessons to improve technique. I have experience with students with special needs, stroke work, and water polo. My favorite part of teaching swim lessons is seeing my swimmers become more confident in the water and their abilities. I was a competitive swimmer for twelve years and played Water Polo through High School. I speak French, and I am Lifeguard, CPR/AED, and First Aid certified.

My favorite thing about Event Lifeguarding is the opportunity to be a part of your special day! I have ten years of lifeguard experience including open water, summer camp, water park, and poolside. I am also a swim instructor and have many years of experience working with children.

Hi, I’m Angelina! I’m very kind and respectful and I’m always up for a challenge. Fun fact about me: I love people! I became a lifeguard because I’m genuinely passionate about helping others, and forming lasting connections. I’m comfortable around all ages, from really young to the elderly, and I’m especially good with kids. Above all else, I love the feeling of knowing that I was able to create a positive experience in someone’s life, even in a small way.

Chris, Event Lifeguard and Aspiring Actor

Los Angeles

Hello, I have been guarding for over 5 years and managed many different pools and their respective lifeguards. I like to create a fun but safe environment for patrons. I have only had to make a hand full of rescues in my career, because I make sure to graciously, yet sternly enforce the pool rules for everyone. What I like most about lifeguarding events is the people that I get to meet, as well as providing ease of mind for all patrons. I personally love parties/events and throwing them for people, so this is just an extension of what I already love to do. I look forward to working with you soon!

Daisy Torres, Lifeguard , Outdoors enthusiast and traveler

I’ve spent the past 3 summers lifeguarding at pools and lakes in the Northwest corner of Connecticut, where I grew up. I knew how to swim before I could walk, and my love for the water turned into a real passion for guarding and water safety. Swimming has continued to be a very important skill in my life, and as a lifeguard, I wish to help others strengthen the skills of their own in a safe and fun environment.
