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.

Hey! My name is Aidan Dayani, I’m from Los Angeles, CA and I’ve been a lifeguard for the past two summers. One thing I love about swimming is how refreshing it is to jump in the pool on a hot summer day! When I’m not working I’m probably at the beach either running, biking, or taking a swim in the ocean. Can’t wait to lifeguard at your next pool party!

I have been lifeguarding for about a year! Last summer, I lifeguarded at a summer camp on Orcas Island, Washington on the Puget Sound. During the school year, I lifeguard at the on campus pool during open swim hours. I love lifeguarding because I love the excitement that being in the water brings people, especially kids, and it’s awesome to be able to keep them safe while watching that passion grow. As a collegiate swimmer, I grew up practically living in the water, and I remember how much joy it brought me to be able to go to the pool when I was younger on a hot summer day. Lifeguarding reminds me of that by watching other people experience that same joy while I am also able to keep them safe.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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, my name is Dean! I have been a lifeguard for three years now. I was first introduced to lifeguarding in the 8th grade, when I became a junior lifeguard. Lifeguarding is a huge responsibility, but it’s the best because I get to meet new people. My intention as a lifeguard is to keep the pool I am watching safe, as everyone is having a blast. A quick fun fact about me is that I played water polo and swam all four years of high school. Lastly, I am fluent in American Sign Language.

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 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.

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.

I have been teaching swim lessons for 10 years. I come from a water polo and swim background having played all through junior high, high school, and college!! I have also coached water polo and swim team. I enjoy teaching others the skills they need in order to love and enjoy being in the water too while being safe at the same time 🙂

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

I’m here to connect with, help, and do my best to support different patrons and my fellow lifeguarding staff. I’m very excited to use my skills in an interpersonal way, such as events, in which I can get to know different groups or returning customers. That’s one of the things that definitely drew me to lifeguarding for private events compared to at large public pools or water parks: the ability to interact with parents and children on a more personal level! I can’t wait for all the things I will learn and the difference I will make!

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 serve the DFW communities of Irving, Dallas, Arlington, Southlake, among others

Most of my lifeguarding experience has been in and around country clubs since 2020 and i loved it so much that i joined happy swimmers in 2021. I wanted to guard events outside of work so that i could meet new people that i otherwise wouldn’t have the chance to! Before that i was working as a swim instructor and as much as i loved teaching the little ones, it was too much on my ears and i couldn’t be in the water every day like i wanted to. That’s why lifeguarding was the perfect amount of enjoying the water while also being able to keep my ears dry (for the most part at least haha). I’ve worked my way up and now i’m an aquatics director and have the opportunity to still work events whenever i get the chance to. Besides lifeguarding, i love spending my time skateboarding with my friends down at the local skateparks and creating art on my nails. Lifeguarding gives me a sense of purpose by being able to help people in need, while skateboarding and doing my nails give me a creative outlet to express myself.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Lifeguarding is amazing since I’ve been competitively swimming since I was six so the water is like my second home.

Serving: Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek

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.

I have been a lifeguard in the DMV area since 2019. I have worked at different communities, gyms, hotels, and apartment complexes. Through my experience I have learned how to balance safety and fun for all pool patrons. I will admit that at first I was overly cautious (better safe than sorry) but after some time I was able to create an enjoyable environment for everyone. I enjoy working as a lifeguard because I love seeing families enjoy their time in the summer by the pool. I think learning to swim and being in the water is a valuable skill that everyone should be able to participate in safely. I grew up in Saudi Arabia and as you can imagine it was HOT! at least 6 months out of the year were spent in the pool with friends and I can attribute some of my best memories to those experiences. There was no lifeguard at that time and I’m sure many accidents could have been prevented but as a result I am keenly aware of how some avoidable accidents can happen around the pool. I’m excited to be working as an event lifeguard with Happy Swimmers this year and I look forward to provide a safe and fun summer for kids again.
