South Florida Lifeguard for Hire Service

Lifeguard Service USA

Including all of Miami-Dade and Broward Counties

Happy Swimmers USA provides South Florida lifeguard for hire service for a variety of functions. From children’s pool parties (our specialty, seen on NBC4 News), to entertainment industry shoots, and corporate events, Happy Swimmers provides an incredible staff for all of these needs.

Staff

All staff are Red Cross certified Lifeguards with an average experience of 7 years, many at high volume locations. These are pros, not charming but inexperienced high schoolers. Wherever there is a pool involved in South Florida, FL. (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,

Why hire us over another lifeguard company or even the kid down the street in South Florida?

We do a thorough evaluation and interview for all of our South Florida Lifeguard for hire staff. We also are one of the only South Florida Lifeguard for Hire companies that protects you with our insurance for PROFESSIONAL as well as general liability insurance and workers comp insurance.  Most lifeguard companies carry the minimum general liability (slips and falls) but they don’t carry the more specific professional liability coverage nor workers comp.  

Most importantly, if an accident happens no matter who’s at fault, you want your guard(s) properly insured for your protection.  Similarly, would you drive a car without car insurance or go to a doctor who you found didn’t carry malpractice insurance?  Above all, we cover you and your event, so you can enjoy the party.  

Additionally, almost all freelancers are completely uninsured. Who checks their criminal backgrounds and lifeguard certification status? Our staff is professionally checked for this. We hire the cream of the crop with the best experience, and again, with us, you have a team of managers and a company to back you up if someone flakes.

Welcome to Happy Swimmers’ South Florida Lifeguard for Hire,  32 years of keeping a guardian angel’s eye on our client’s guests.

Blake, Event Lifeguard, Surfing waves in season, shredding mountains off season

West Palm Beach

Hi, my name is Blake & I’ve been lifegaurding for 4 years. I started at one of the biggest pools in the United States & took it to the next level with ocean rescue. I love guarding any and all bodies of water to ensure swimmers are having a good, fun & relaxed time. Safety for swimmers, beach goers, & pool patrons is my #1 priority. I’ve always loved guarding because of the lifestyle, the sun, & the vibe. my office is water front everyday all day long. & everyone is always happy to see a lifegaurd even when they aren’t in need. A fun fact about me when I’m not at the beach I’m back in the mountains shredding some slopes on my snow skis! I’ve been skiing since I was a kid & it is one of my favorite passions!

Serving: West palm beach, palm beach, Jupiter, palm beach gardens, Delray, fortlauderdale, Miami.

David Marino, Swim Instructor, Lifeguard & Motivational Speaker

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

Demetrius, Lifeguard & Musical Engineer

Los Angeles

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

Jada, Event Lifeguard, Hairstyling and Beach Girl

Florida

I started lifeguarding in the Summer of 2018 and I fell in love since. I absolutely love the water, interacting with the patrons and keeping them safe. I have a fondness for making patrons happy and making sure they have a great time. During guarding, I enjoy watching the public and giving different ideas or games for them to play. Additionally, I am a very busy-body; I love to have things to do.

Jordan Curby, Event Lifeguard, Aquatics Director, Pole Vaulter, & Scuba Diver

South Florida

I have been a lifeguard since I was 16 years old, which was in 2016. I moved from Louisville, KY to Fort Lauderdale, FL in 2018 for college, and have not been able to leave South Florida since! I now serve as the Aquatics Director at the Nova Southeastern University Aquatics Institute, as well as teach lifeguarding courses on the side. Unfortunately, I have had to make several rescues both in the water and on land, providing me with “real-life” rescuing experience. I truly love the aquatics industry, but I have other passions as well, such as teaching, pole vaulting, and scuba diving.

Serving: All cities in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties (South Florida)

Lauren Cecco, Event Lifeguard, Surfing, Swimming and cooking

Boca Raton, FL

Hi! My name is Lauren. I have been an ocean lifeguard in Long Island New York for 5 years before moving to Boca Raton. I am a special education teacher as well. From my experiences as an ocean lifeguard and also my previous experience at pools and the bay, I know how important it is to keep your eyes on the water at all time to ensure safety of all patrons ! I was a college diver for UCONN as well. My years of experience as a lifeguard and also a diver/swimmer will make the perfect lifeguard for your event.

Serving: Boca raton, delray, boynton, Fort Lauderdale

Lexi, Event Lifeguard, Skater girl and Nail enthusiast

Miami

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.

Serving: Fort lauderdale, Hollywood, Boynton, Delray beach

Rudyar, Private Swim Instructor & Lifeguard for Hire, lover of the arts

Hallandale Beach


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

Stephanie Kirkpatrick

Windermere, FL; 18 years experience!

I love lifeguarding and have been one since I was a teenager. I have experience in guarding town pools and big waterparks including both Disney parks. My favorite thing about event guarding is meeting new people from all over the country and being part of their special event.

Will, Event Lifeguard, Freediver & Jiu-jitero

Boca Raton

Having worked as a lifeguard for a variety of facilities including beach resorts, swim teams and municipal pools, I understand the changing demands of lifeguarding for different types of clients, events and swimmers. I’ve been able to apply my experience as a free diver on the reefs of South Florida and a USA swim coach to lifeguarding, allowing me to create a fun, enjoyable and most importantly safe environment for swimmers of all ages and experience levels.

Serving: Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs
