Autonomy–You work when and where YOU want.
Mastery–become proficient at spotting emergencies and acting to save lives.
Purpose–Make a difference that alters history for generations to come (saving one child’s life, saves their descendants yet to be born–how cool is that?)
Dear Lifeguard Job Applicants of Happy Swimmers,
This is unlike any “job” you could have –other than possibly a paramedic– We want you if you’re qualified and have the central focus of wanting to make a difference in the world, and in this case, that looks like preventing and rescuing swimmers from drowning or harm. All else is gravy. If you’re not resonating with that as a focus, no worries, apply elsewhere. This is a job and company to be proud of.
Our staff made a difference in at least 55 lives of actively rescued kids last summer. It’s the best feeling at the end of the day you could ever have. As the summer season approaches, Happy Swimmers is currently looking to hire highly competent, personable private lifeguards with good safety backgrounds in each metro region we serve. If you’ve seen our ads, we serve your metro area, or simply check out our website for a list of metro’s we’re in.
Filling out the lifeguard job application online should take about 15 minutes. You’ll be asked to upload copies of your relevant certification cards, and have past employer info and references handy. Here’s more info on our company: Happy Swimmers has been the cream of the crop in private event lifeguarding since 1991. We hire the best and pay the best of any swim company: Starting pay is $75+ for up to 3 hours, $25-35/hr thereafter, plus client cash tips for great service, and raises and bonuses happen from merit. We intend to have a small, responsive staff, working part-time to your schedule. Staff outside of CA are your own boss (an independent contractor in tax terms), if you live outside of CA you can deduct all business expenses you have as a result of lifeguarding with us (gas or mileage, a portion of your smartphone bill, computer, internet service, car insurance, car payments, car maintenance, etc.) on a “Schedule C” for taxes, yay! Employees, usually making much less don’t have this sizable tax benefit. CA staff are at-will employees and have different benefits explained in the interview and onboarding.
I look forward to your lifeguard job application and best wishes for the summer and beyond,

~~CURRENTLY NOT TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR SWIM INSTRUCTOR~~ ONLY LIFEGUARDS. PLEASE USE THAT DROP DOWN CHOICE FOR THE LIFEGUARD APPLICATION
Dear Swim Instructor and Private Event Lifeguard Job Applicants of Happy Swimmers,
The summer season is approaching, and I am currently looking to hire 12-15 highly competent, personable swim teachers in each of our regions with strong prior backgrounds in teaching small children swim lessons. Your experience is very important here. If you are a novice teacher, working in our program would be difficult, and summer camps or other schools would be a better choice. If you have strong experience and love kids, fill out this application and return it promptly so that we may interview as soon as possible.
The reputation of our swim teachers and our high service standard is what sells our lessons. If hired, we will work as a team (and that’s not lip service). You are considered your own boss contracting with our company and with that goes much freedom, but also much personal responsibility and maturity. This is a requirement to work with our company.
Our approach with children is one of building water safety skills first. We will explain more of our philosophy during the interview, and I really encourage your own input on what’s worked for you. Many times, we are happy to use a blend of our skills.
Happy Swimmers has been the cream of the crop since 1991. We hire the best and pay the best of any swim company: paid between $30-45 per teaching hour plus bonuses! We don’t accept over 2 children in the water with the instructor (less stress for our instructors and greater learning for the kids). We intend to have a core group of instructors, working generally part-time up to 25 or 30 hours a week max, to your schedule. Once on staff, you’ll want to take as many clients as possible.
If you work outside of CA, you are considered your own boss, you can deduct all business expenses you have as a result of swim teaching with us (gas, mileage, car insurance, etc.). If you live in CA, you are considered an at-will employee and have employee benefits that will be described in the job interview and onboarding process.
Another substantial benefit for all swim staff of our mobile swim school is that you are covered by our company liability policy of $2,000,000 while teaching.
We look forward to your application, it should take about 15-20 minutes to complete.
Best wishes for the summer and beyond,
Jenn Tyler
