I was a Lifeguard at the Hollywood YMCA for 2 years and 1/3, I was a Lifeguard at Australian Swim School in Tarzana last Summer, and I just started a job as a Lifeguard for Cooksey’s Lifeguard and Swim Academy 1 month ago. I have a lot of experience as a Lifeguard and I really enjoy keeping an eye out for swimmers and managing their safety. I enjoy being the one people feel safe around and can rely on. I always thought the Lifeguard and BLS courses were really fun and I enjoyed learning CPR & First Aid.

Ever since a child I was always in the water. Being born in urban New York City my mother wanted me to learn how to swim. After completing all the learn to swim program levels, I decided to push myself further and become a lifeguard. Though I enjoy guarding, however my heart remains primarily as an instructor. Being able to positively change a child’s life, give them confidence in and out of the water is priceless. These are all things I wish to instill in my students, as well as my own son.

Being a lifeguard has been one of the most exciting jobs I’ve had in my life. Not only because it is a great responsibility but as well for the fun. A good lifeguard should always stand for safety, fun and being a good role model. All of which I can I promise to uphold.

Proud Parent to a beautiful son.

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. 

Hello Happy Swimmers! My name is Andres Herrera and I love the water so much that I LITERALLY cant take my eyes off of it! I moved from El Paso, TX to San Antonio, TX at the beginning of 2023 and plan to take my life to the next level. I love a sport called Tricking that combines Karate kicks with acrobatic flips and twists & even more so I love to Travel the world for it. Catch me if you can, BUT NO RUNNING! See you in the water 🙂

Serving: All of San Antonio, San Marcos, New Braunfelds & Austin

I started lifeguarding over a decade ago in high school and I’ve continued to lifeguard off and on since then at various facilities from indoor college campuses to crowded, outdoor public pools. As a guard I’m scanning the scene constantly, I find that being proactive can help more than anything, though I’m always ready to react to the unexpected. It’s been very rewarding to see youngsters find confidence in the water and themselves, and knowing that I’m there to protect them is something I’m proud of. Pools tend to attract the wildest of critters as well, and I find that to be a perk of the job, having wrangled everything from baby bunnies to giant centipedes.

Serving: Dallas, Garland, Mesquite, Plano

I was a lifeguard at the YMCA for ten months and during this time I made several rescues and received a lifeguard of the year award. I am currently in the process of becoming a lifeguard for Hollywood Beach Ocean Rescue. My intention is guarding is to make sure that the people that I am watching over are having fun in a safe environment. What I like most about lifeguarding events is the flexible schedule.

Serving: Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Boca Raton, Miami

I am a new and excited lifeguard, I just received my certification on 5/27/2018. My intention in becoming a lifeguard is to provide a safe environment where all different kinds of swimmers feel welcome and safe.

I am also an passionate athlete, as I love to play many sports including football and basketball.

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.

Some of the areas I serve:

Menifee, Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Perris

Growing up in the heat, swimming and being in water was my favorite thing to do during the summer. Which led to my very first job ever, lifeguarding, and I immediately loved it. I’ve worked at several resorts, casinos, water parks and have guarded private events throughout Las Vegas. I love what I do for work and being able to let everyone enjoy themselves, fun and safely, makes the job fun 🙂

I have been swimming for almost my whole life and love to get outdoors and enjoy the water. I take my responsibility of safety very seriously and make sure it is of highest priority to keep everyone safe as possible. The thing I love most about lifeguarding is seeing the kids having a ton of fun and feeling safe because of what I do.

I started lifeguarding at my neighborhood pool and found post-season employment at Goldfish Swim School. The little kids I worked with there were great and I even enjoyed working with the babies (despite the crying). I stumbled upon Happy Swimmers as I was looking for new ways to use my certification. I feel fortunate to have found such a flexible workplace with such a great staff! This is my second year with Happy Swimmers. The families and clients I work with are always friendly and courteous. Hard to say how many times I’ve been thrown in the pool at birthday parties! I just renewed my certification and plan to continue summers with Happy Swimmers until I graduate college. After that, I’m off to live as a pilot…where I’m sure my CPR and life-saving skills might come in handy!

Serving: Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, Woodstock are areas I commonly serve.

Hello! My name is Beth and I have been a seasonal Lifeguard for about 5 years now with the City of Dallas.

Fun fact: If I’m not in the water swimming, I am out Roller Skating!

Serving: Dallas, fort worth, Carrollton, NorthPark, Lewisville, Mesquite

I was introduced to guarding in 1973 when I finally passed a gruesome endurance test to become a lifeguard at a NJ state park on the ocean. Gruesome because the distance and sprint swims were in 64 degree water. I worked 3 summers, took 2 off, and returned for a 4th year. I also guarded at a lake owned by the university I was attending in Florida over the winters. Most recently, I renewed by lifeguard cert and began working at a local Y in October 2021 and have been working part time since then. I enjoy my coworkers and the Y community and try to make everyone’s experience at the pool as welcoming and safe as possible.

Serving: Atlanta

Some areas I serve: Boulder City, Henderson, Spring Valley, Las Vegas

My life guarding experience started when I was just in high school. At first I was doing it for extra money so my intention was to get paid, now I take a genuine interest in the patrons of any pool whether I’m guarding or not; my goal is to make sure everyone is safe and most of all having fun and enjoying the pools’ environment. And that’s what I enjoy most because my life guarding experience now is better because I’m not worried about getting paid I’m worried about the people at the pool first then everything else will take care of itself.

Fun fact about me is I want to do a lot of things as a career so while I want to be a pool operator one day and own my own Pool Company I also want to be a producer and make beats for musicians and artists while also having a few artists skills myself. Obviously, when I was in high school, I thought I would be an NBA player when it was all said and done so I definitely dream a lot, even now as an adult.

I serve the Atlanta communities of Decatur, Atlanta proper, Covington, & Brookhaven

Hi I’m Bryan, and I have been guarding for one year. I was always in the water when I was younger, not coming in till the sun went down. Lifeguarding is a passion for me since I always love being near the water. I really enjoy paddle boarding as I feel like it helps me clear my mind when I’m out there gazing at the water. I plan to go to medical school and be a psychiatrist. I am currently trying to learn German and Russian as well as computer programming.

I serve the San Diego communities of San Diego proper, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Carlsbad, among others. 

I work at the Rockwall ISD aquatic center. I have worked private parties before Happy Swimmers and fairly enjoyed it.

Serving: Rockwall, Dallas, Wylie, Plano

I worked for regional parks for 3 years and worked my way up to become Pool Manager. I love being a lifeguard because I have the opportunity to help make a difference and save a person’s life. No matter how many times I do it, each time is just as humbling and special. My job is to make sure everyone is having a very fun and safe experience so they can walk away with lifelong memories.

Serving: Rancho Cucamonga, Newport, San Bernardino, Pasadena

I have had a love of the water ever since I was little, and after years of competitive swimming, realized that lifeguarding could help me combine my love of people and the water into one. I intend to provide a fun and safe environment for children to build unforgettable memories in, and for parents to be stress free while their children are in the water. I love meeting new people through lifeguarding and am looking forward to being a guard for your event!

I love photography, spending time in the water, working with kids, and giving back to my community.

Serving: Glendale, Peoria, North Phoenix, Scottsdale

My main goal as a lifeguard is to keep everyone safe while still letting people have fun. I’m taking away from this experience how to have better people skills and how to have better lifeguarding skills. A fun fact about myself is that I have played sports mainly softball for about 13 years so I have learned communication skills and how to work well with other people.

Serving: Houston, Pasadena, Beaumont, Livingston

I have been a lifeguard since I was 12 years old! I took Jr Lifeguard classes as a kid and accumulated summer volunteer hours by shadowing working lifeguards. I got certified when I was 15 in May 2017 and immediately started working in June of 2017. I have years of experience in this field. I am also a Certified Swim Instructor, Certified Lifeguard Instructor, and a Certified Personal Trainer. I love the idea of helping others stay safe and enjoy the water as much as I do! Besides my job as a lifeguard, I enjoy going to concerts and music festivals, lifting weights, and going to college for my Exercise Science Degree!

Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston are some of the regions I work in. 🙂

I’ve been lifeguarding for about 3 years now, started with junior lifeguard program back in Phoenix, Arizona when I was about 12 and started working for the City of Phoenix when I was 16. Being at your event I will do my best to ensure you receive top notch guest interaction while at the same time making sure you have peace of mind knowing your pool is being watched. My favorite part about lifeguarding is getting to meet different people as strangers and leaving knowing i made someone smile today.

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!

Serving: North Hollywood, Toluca lake, Beverly Hills, Encinitas, Glendale

Hi! I’ve been swimming competitively for 9 years and have 5 years lifeguarding experience with CPR, AED, and first-aid certification.

I love ending my day at work knowing I created a safe and enjoyable pool environment. I’ve lifeguarded at various sized parties (even over 120 swimmers) and a wide variety of events. I believe a great lifeguard realizes the situation before it happens, taking action to prevent any situation from getting worse.

My composure under stress and observance resulted in the 5 rescues I had my first week as a guard (including saving 2 toddlers at once)!

Serving: Round Rock, South Austin, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Westlake, Bee Cave

I love the sense of doing a good job. Knowing that you’re the one keeping those people safe! That your skill set could be called into action at a moments notice and your adrenaline will be pumping before you have a chance to blink. The satisfaction of knowing you’re going home having helped someone whether that be simply by keeping them safe or you have actually made a rescue fills you with pride knowing that you did that and you may well possibly have changed someone’s life.

Once I became really serious on my teaching career i took summer classes and started working for happy swimmers (as it fit my hectic schedule better).

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.

Serving: Orange, Irvine, Newport, Anaheim

I taught swim lessons at camp and privately for the last 5 years working with children of all ages. I love helping children learn how to swim and their “aha!” moment when they finally get a stroke and become comfortable with it. I actually learned how to swim pretty early on. At the tender young age of just 4 years old I would swim on my own!

I’ve been lifeguarding for the last 8 years and teaching swim lessons for the last 5. I always keep a fun and safe environment for my patrons and love to see a smile on their faces after a job well done. Event lifeguarding is so much fun and you meet so many new and interesting people.

Hello my name is Dano (Day-Noh),
I have been Lifeguarding for close to 5 years and have always loved the water ever since I took swim lessons as a kid. My intention is to prevent any life threatening injuries while on duty and educate pool patrons about safety in or out of the water. It is a commitment of mine to engage w/ the event staff and proactively develop an appropriate EAP (emergency action plan) incase we need to activate a rescue. In addition, to keeping a safe environment it’s always fun to play some pool games and share some swimming techniques with the pool guest. Feel free to ask for an early arrival time as it’s fine if you need some help setting a few things up prior to event.

In addition to lifeguarding, I spend most of my extra time pursuing my dream as an Actor, Model and Voiceover artist. This is one of my biggest passions in life.

I serve the North Bay Area communities of Monte Rio, Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Windsor, among others. 

I’ve been a certified lifeguard working for Continental Pools for about two years. 

Serving: Baltimore, Columbia, Upper Marlboro, Annapolis

As a Miami Beach native, I’ve been enjoying our beaches and pools since I was a baby. Because everyone would tell me I was very good with kids and so comfortable in the water, I started teaching private swimming classes. I became a Lifeguard in 2015 and a Water Safety Instructor in 2016. I am told I motivate my students to improve their swimming techniques and to work hard to reach their swimming goals. I particularly like to work events as I enjoy meeting new people. I have repeat parents who call me to be a lifeguard at their kids’ parties. A fun fact about me is that I am probably one of the tallest lifeguards you can hire but can relate to your child as if I were as small as them.

Serving: Plantation, Davie, Sunrise, Lauderhill, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca

I started doing lifeguarding in high school in AZ, and then continued to do it in MD till I moved back to AZ and will continue to do lifeguarding indefinitely. While on duty, I want to prevent accidents from happening in the first place.

Serving: Goodyear, Phoenix, Tolleson, Glendale

Swim Instructor role: Growing up in the West Valley with a backyard pool, I learned to swim at a young age and got into water polo during high school and college. Water sports like surfing and sailing are hobbies of mine and I first started teaching private swim lessons shortly after I started my teaching career at Hoover High School in 1996. I still currently teach Health and PE while also serving in my Coast Guard reserve unit in San Pedro as a First Class Marine Science Technician. My son in grade school has been competing for two years on a swim team and loves it. All kids should have that opportunity.

Event Lifeguard role: Aside from the last two years working for Happy Swimmers, friends and family would ask me to act as a life guard for pool parties and functions when I became Red Cross certified for water safety and CPR. A good life guard takes preventative measures to mitigate potential hazards by identifying them early before the function begins. Done properly, pool saves are few and quick. I love the anticipation of potential challenges that each venue may pose and being a part of a random family”s fun safe memories they will have.

Hi, I’m Demetrius Jones and I look forward to working with you. I have over 9 years experience as a lifeguard working at large, high-end resorts and hotels, as well as small private pools and parties. I’m outgoing and personable, and enjoy working in all environments. I look forward to helping make sure everyone has a fantastic time, but is safe in the process.

4+ years of my experience was managing a therapy pool where we supported people with injuries, special needs and the elderly. My experience there (and prior experience) has helped me develop the ability to customize my approach to meet each person’s needs. During that same timeframe, I also taught swim lessons for 2 1/2 years; I like helping people feel comfortable and love the water as much as I do.

Other than lifeguarding, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Recording Arts and have a business doing musical engineering and production. I moved to sunny California earlier this year and am enjoying working here in both capacities.

I look forward to meeting you soon,

Demetrius

I’ve been a lifeguard for for over 3 years now but swimming has always been a big part of my life. I swam competitively in high school and have always loved the water. Growing up going to pools I always felt safe knowing there was a lifeguard watching. In my guarding I aim to help others enjoy the water, while making them feel safe. I feel lucky to be able to guard events where I get to meet and interact with new people while maintaining a fun and safe environment for kids and adults.

Serving: Petaluma, Sonoma, Napa, Bodega bay

I always loved the water; I used to be a “pool rat,” then joining the Swim Team and then Water Polo team in high school. I began lifeguarding at the age of 15, working indoors for 3 years getting guard of the month twice during that time, and guard of the year for the one year it was tried. Then, I moved outdoors where I got the similar guard of the week and with my team defeated 20+ teams to win the North Texas Guard Games.
Knowing me personally: I thrive in high stress situations and de-escalation. I used to try to guard perfectly of out fear of failure, but now I guard just as well without it.

Serving: Southlake, Bedford-Euless, Colleyville, Grapevine (Hurst, Keller, Fort Worth)

Hello, my name is Hannah and I have been a lifeguard for six years as well as a pool manager for two years! I started swimming competitively when I was five years old (hard to believe that that was 16 years ago!) and I am passionate about sharing my love of the water by ensuring that it is safe and fun for all those who want to enjoy it! I am also a nursing student at the moment (one more year and I will have my BSN and RN degrees) and love using my knowledge to make extra-sure that everyone is safe and having a blast at whatever event is occurring. I love lifeguarding events: I am a big people-person, I love the outdoors, and I love the water! I want to make sure whichever event I am invited to I can help the event run smoothly as well as make it enjoyable for all parties present. A fun fact about me: I just got back from 3 months in South Africa working in clinics and going on adventures, so if you want to see cool photos and videos of shark cage diving, bungee jumping and safaris, I would love to share!

I love teaching people how to swim! I have taught swim lessons for six years excluding my own personal experience with swim. I have taught between the age ranges of 6 months to 84 years old, so I am comfortable with teaching just about everything! I can teach the basics of strokes, refinement of stroke technique, as well as simply getting comfortable in the water and learning how to swim and be safe in water for the first time! Swim lessons hold a special place in my heart because I would never be who I am today if I did not having amazing instructors help me not only gain skills swimming but also making me feel comfortable with my abilities as well as gain confidence. Fun fact about me: my favorite stroke is backstroke, and my favorite race was the 200 meter back– not a popular favorite but loads of fun to me!

Greetings, I’m Arthur! I have been a Lifeguard and Swim Instructor for over 25 years.

I’m from Chicago. I’ve had a beautiful relationship with the water since I was a child. I was on the swim team in high school and the water polo club in my neighborhood park where I first learned to swim as a child. Years later at that same park I became a Lifeguard for the Chicago Park District. I later lifeguarded and became a Swim Instructor at Richard J Daley College and also at the YMCA in Illinois and in Hollywood, California. Since 2002 I’ve been a Behavior Specialist, Lifeguard, Water Safety Instructor and CPR Instructor at a non public school in Cheviot Hills (West LA). I work with emotionally disturbed children who are diagnosed with Autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD and a host of other Mental illness and psychiatric disorders. I love the water, it’s one of the most consistent things in my life. I also love the joy of someone overcoming their fear of water and finally embracing it.

I have been lifeguarding for 10 years.I have been lifeguarding for 10 years. I love the water and enjoy making sure others are safe while they have fun in the water too. Over the past decade, I have truly come to see the responsibility that comes with being a lifeguard and it is a responsibility I take very seriously. I love having fun in the pool but safety first- always. I have performed multiple real rescues to both children and adults.

Lifeguarding has always been an important part of my life since I started my journey as a YMCA Lifeguard when I turned 16. One of the main reasons I decided to become a lifeguard is because my mother who is a nurse, had to save a 3 year old drowing victim and perform CPR for nearly 6 minutes until the paramedics arrived. This child drowned under the watch of lifeguards and if my mom was not there, that young child would have most likely not survived. Being a head lifeguard along with my sister, who is also a head lifegaurd at the YMCA, we are able to enstill the importance of our jobs to the young 16 year old lifeguards at the pools we work at. This is so that nothing of the same nature happens to anyone under my or my guard’s watch.

Serving: Cibolo, Schertz, San Antonio, New Braunfels

Hello, my name is Kendrick. I’m a recently Certified American Red Cross Lifeguard. In addition to my day job, as a Fixed Income Specialist, I am an Assistant Scoutmaster with Boy Scout Troop 773 in Irving, TX. I made the decision to become a Lifeguard after completing BSA Aquatic Supervision & Water Rescue Training. I developed a love for swimming as a form of exercise following 20+ years as an amateur cyclist, and the addition of a few extra pounds. An important component of safety comes from “Being Prepared” (Scout’s Motto) for emergencies should they occur, but perhaps more practically, Prevention. I have over 6 years experience working with kids through scouting, and believe in living the 12 points of the Scout Law (ask me to recite them sometime ;). As a business professional, I strongly believe in providing excellent client service, and developing lasting relationships by treating individuals the way I expect to be treated.

In addition to the above certifications, I am Red Cross Certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED. I’m Originally from Lafayette, Louisiana and have been living in the DFW area since 1995. I completed my Bachelor’s in 1991 at University of Southwestern LA. I Eventually earned my MBA at University of Dallas in 2002. When not involved with work or scouting, you’ll likely find me either in the pool, on the bike, or thinking about one of the above. Other interest include cooking (indoors & out), geocaching, and in general pushing myself to learn and do new things; rest is good too 🙂

Having a qualified and responsible Lifeguard is very important in keeping kids and adults safe at your events. I’m very honored to be part of the Happy Swimmers Guard Staff!

I look forward to working with you!!!

I have been Life guarding for 2 years at numerous pools. From large capacity pools to small, I am well trained and always ready to save. I intend to be the safest and most attentive Lifeguard I can be. I enjoy Lifeguard events because I can meet new people and really get to experience the challenges of being a Lifeguard. Being the Team Captain of my High school Swim team really taught me to challenge myself, and others to be the best they can be.

I serve the Portland communities of  Vancouver, Portland proper, Gresham, Tigard, among others.

My first experience teaching swim was initiation by fire. I was asked since I was a new lifeguard on my first job, if I could teach a swim lesson. That was definitely interesting. Since then, I have not only gained experience and certifications in swimming through the American Red Cross, the YMCA, USA Swimming, various swim schools, and now in conjunction with USA Triathlon and open water swimming. It is truly exciting to see someone gain confidence and the skills to achieve something not thought possible. One of my favorite races was because of the medal earned, not the swim itself!

Serving: heights, Bellaire, west university, Montrose

I have been lifeguarding for 4 years now and have always worked year-round. I have worked at multiple public recreation departments and swim clubs. My style of lifeguarding is preventative, stopping accidents and injuries before they occur.

I’ve been lifeguarding on and off for multiple years, from indoor water parks to Olympic-sized lap pools to large summer camps. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and love being able to make an enjoyable sport safer for everyone. I was born in Indonesia, raised both here in Dallas and up in Utah, and have made countless memories in both places, and can’t wait to make many more while lifeguarding here.

I come from a competitive swimming background. I was on the Middle School Junior Varsity team, Farmingdale Aquatics team, and the High School Varsity team. I have been working as a lifeguard for the Hamlet Olde Oyster Bay and The Residences at Plainview for two years and counting.

Hey there! My name’s Nathan Wilson, and I’m an indoor lifeguard with just over 1 year of experience. Since I work year round, I’ve had over 60 hours of inservice training and 1000+ hours on duty. I’ve always viewed lifeguarding as a way of giving back to my community, especially after almost becoming a drowning victim myself. When I was 5 years old I jumped into the deep end of a friend’s pool at a party. In a backyard of 20+ people the person that recognized what was happening was my father, who quickly jumped into action to drag me up from the bottom of the pool. An accident can occur in the blink of an eye, and as a lifeguard my duty is to prevent those accidents from becoming fatal.

Hi my name is Nick and I am a Florida native with a great Jamaican heritage. The reason that I first got into lifeguarding was because I got a summer job at a sleep away summer camp. I remember being pretty nervous my first couple times guarding. However, from that experience my confidence grew and after 4 years of that, I have learned so much about myself and my leadership ability. I acquired my lifeguard trainer certification and have put it to good use since.

The reason I love event lifeguarding is because on top of keeping everyone safe, I love being a part of the excitement going on around me.

I have 10 years experience being in a swim league, both the summer season and year-round. I’ve met a lot of friends that way and I like most aquatic activities. I have also been certified in CPR multiple times now.

So the yellow cloth I have around my whistle is from the first summer I lifeguarded, one of my summer camp kids gave it to me. Lifeguarding was my first job at 16 and as an older brother, it’s always felt natural to lookout after those younger than me but through my life you can see how that’s extended onto everyone. From my military service to my current pursue in psychology. I’ve always just enjoyed helping others and it sure doesn’t hurt that I love the water, I am hoping to get scuba certified soon. So naturally, I am here as your lifeguard. It’s just a natural environment for me.

I have been lifeguarding since I was 16 at summer camp, I am now 20 and lifeguard whenever I am home from school for break. I love to cook and workout and live a healthy lifestyle overall. When I was younger I swam for multiple teams but ultimately chose to focus on Softball in high school and college.

Since I was a child I was always close to the water, in my adolescence I spent three years in the national swimming school in Cuba, as swimming instructor since 1996 I worked several summers in Cuba. In 2007 I went to live in Spain where I also worked as a swimming instructor in 2012 I went to live in Sardinia, Italy where I worked as a private swimming instructor for three years, I like this job because swimming is the most complete sport, it is also very important to learn to swim by your own security, there is a risk of death by drowning very high in the world, I personally think that all people should know how to swim or know how to be safe in an aquatic environment

 As a lifeguard I worked two summers in Cuba, before starting in the university, where I studied pedagogy in appreciation of art. In 2007 I went to live in Spain where I also work as a lifeguard in 2012. I like lifeguarding because there is a lot of responsibility in safety of clients at beaches or pools, I like to know that I am able to react in a stressful situation, each situation is different in each place, the work dynamics are fun and also very serious

Hi! My name is Ry and I have been a lifeguard now for three years. I have experience in guarding those of ALL ages. I love every aspect of lifeguarding and it has been that way since I started. I go to UTSA for biology (I want to become a doctor) I believe that lifeguarding has prepared me to always be ready for anything, think critically, and save lives of course, and these are tools that I will carry through my career. When I am not guarding you can catch me swimming in any river, hanging out with my family, or playing video games.

I have continued to lifeguard for Happy Swimmers as I enter my junior year of college at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.

Hi, my name is Sarah Isela! There is a quote about lifeguards that says, “A lifeguard is like a storm shelter, you may never need it, but if you do it can be a lifesaver.” During my seven years of lifeguarding, I have been the storm shelter and lifesaver to countless people. My 7 year lifeguarding career began in 2013, when I received my American Red Cross Lifeguard certification. Since then, I have gained an incredible amount of experience lifeguarding every year: 2013-2015 at an indoor aquatic center (North Arundel Aquatic Center), 2015-2018 as the beach “Baywatch” of Sandy Point State Park, and 2018-present as a private event lifeguard with Happy Swimmers USA. When I lifeguard, I work to the best of my ability to ensure the safety of everyone. If the time comes that I must become your “lifesaver,” you are in good hands. I have handled over 100 water assists, as well as four serious water rescues over the past five years. I have even received the Superintendent’s Award from the Natural Resources Police (NRP) for assisting in a water rescue of 5 people from a jet skiing accident in the Chesapeake Bay. This is my third year lifeguarding for events, and I look forward to working with you to ensure the safety of all your swimmers!

Serving the WDC communities of Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington D.C. proper, Rockville, among others. 

I grew up with a pool in my backyard and so I learned to love the water at a young age. I have four years of experience working as a lifeguard in indoor and outdoor settings as well as guarding summer camp events. My first lifeguard and swim instructor job was at my local YMCA back when I lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After I moved here to San Diego in 2018 I continued to work as a lifeguard and swim instructor in the much sunnier California weather! I believe that water safety is extremely important and so I do not take my job lightly. Working as a lifeguard is lots of fun because I am able to interact with many people while also having the skills and training to keep them safe around the pool!

I first started teaching swim lessons at my local YMCA in 2017. Since then I have 3 years of experience teaching private and group lessons year round. I have the most experience with preschool age groups, but I have taught many lessons from parent-child to elementary levels. The best part about teaching swim lessons is that I get to see kids grow confident in themselves and learn life-saving skills. Teaching swim lessons is so rewarding because I’ve helped many kids learn to not be afraid of the water and learn the importance of water safety.

Serving: Fallbrook, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos

I attained my certification to allow the pool to be opened at my current job at the Bellwood Boys&Girls Club, where it had been closed due to a lack of lifeguarding.
