Swimming is always a fun time for you and your children. That is, until an accident happens. Whether or not your children are skilled swimmers, you should always be prepared for the worst. Your children will thank you for it.

You may be surprised to learn that you can hire a lifeguard for a pool party! Lifeguards can be hired by the hour to watch swimmers of all ages and jump in in case of an emergency. Here are the top 4 benefits of having a lifeguard on duty at your party, no matter the occasion or median age of the guests.
Lifeguard

  • If you are hosting a party, you have way too much on your plate—sometimes literally! You can get distracted from keeping an eye on your kids and instead keep an eye on your cooking or guests outside the pool. Let a lifeguard take care of the pool so you can take care of other important hosting duties.
  • Also, what fun is it to stand beside a swimming pool and keep an eye on swimmers, just waiting and watching for an emergency to happen? Hire a lifeguard to enforce pool rules and monitor the pool. You deserve to have fun, too. And you will have more fun with the peace of mind a lifeguard’s presence offers.
  • Lifeguards for hire have some major advantages over other adults, even experienced swimmers: They are typically trained in CPR, they are trained to spot signs of a struggle in the water, and they know exactly how to respond in the event that someone is in danger of drowning. If your child is in danger, you may not know how to react. Lifeguards know exactly what to do.
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 10 people drown every single day in America. It is the 5th leading cause of unintentional injury death in the country. Here’s a surprising side of these statistics: They don’t just refer to children. Adults can drown, too. Adults who are not skilled swimmers or who have been drinking are in even more danger of drowning when they enter a pool. When you hire a lifeguard for your pool party, you help protect everyone in attendance, no matter their age.

Hi Peggy,
Yumi and Jere were wonderful lifeguards when they guarded our end of year pool party on Wednesday June 11 from 11-2. They were in touch with me, were on time and prepared, and were very responsible and knowledgeable. I was so happy to be able to put two adults in charge of our fourth grade class party.
Based on my experience with Yumi Temple and her cohort Jere, I would highly recommend Happy Swimmers.
Thank you for a wonderful experience. So happy we used your business.

Hi Jenn.. wow today was really scary. I had to use my first aid skills on my mom! We work at the same preschool & she had an allergic reaction & went into shock! I did everything I remembered until the paramedics came.. I really can’t thank you enough for teaching me everything I needed to know!

Everything about my experience with Happy Swimmers has been amazing! From the scheduling to the fantastic teacher they sent for my 5 and 6 year old. The instructor, Emma, had to contend with 2 very different personalities along with 2 different levels of swimming experience. She was more than equipped to deal with that and gave each child unparalleled support, encouragement and instruction. I highly recommend this service to all parents that want to give their child a great experience in being water safe!

We have three kids ages 7, 4, and 2 & 1/2. This was our second year having Happy Swimmers, with instructor Trisha Commons, come teach our kids (the two oldest) to swim. I tried another company the year before I tried Happy Swimmers and although the kids learned swim safety, they were bored and did not learn how to enjoy the pool. Trisha got our son, who did not really like swimming, having fun and by the end of last year could swim the entire length of the pool on his own.

Trisha is great with the kids and is flexible in her teaching style to work with different personalities. She is able to get the kids confident in their abilities and teaches them how to swim, but also teaches them how to have fun! I will definitely be asking Happy Swimmers and Trisha to teach the kids again next year.

I have a toddler and a pool and wanted to make sure my son learned water safety. After taking some group classes last summer, I knew I wanted more one-on-one attention at our home. This summer I reviewed several in-home companies and was impressed with Happy Swimmers approach of water safety.

Trish worked with my stubborn 2-yr old 2-3 times a week. Within the first lesson he knew how to climb out of the pool and to ask permission before getting in. Although our goal was to get him water comfortable more than “swimming”, he indeed learned to swim within a few weeks. We extended our lessons and really appreciated Trish’s approach. We will sign up again next summer. Many of our friends with children happened to be present on several lessons and I expect they will also sign up next summer as well.

Hired a happy swimmers for private life guard for a party for over 200 people at my house. The lifeguard was great. She called to confirm before, came on time, and stayed later then we originally signed up because the party went over. She also showed up on time despite there being a black out that because of storms the day before. I highly recommend Happy Swimmers.
