Tampa Lifeguard for Hire
Lifeguard Service USA
Happy Swimmers USA provides Tampa 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 Tampa, 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 Tampa?
We do a thorough evaluation and interview for all of our Tampa Lifeguard for hire staff. We also are one of the only Tampa Lifeguard for Hire companies that protects you with our insurance for PROFESSIONAL as well as general liability insurance and workers comp insurance. Â 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. Â
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. Â
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’ Tampa Lifeguard for Hire, Â 32 years of keeping a guardian angel’s eye on our client’s guests.

I started swimming at age two and won my first swim competition at age five. I also became a springboard diver, competing nationally in the AAU league and FHSAA until I graduated High School. I earned my Red Cross Lifeguard Certificate in 2016, started working immediately, and received the WSI certificate in 2024. I also coach a swim team and teach swim lessons to babies between 6 months and adults. I get the most satisfaction when I see a child enjoying the water after I’ve taught them how to swim. Fun fact: I have two pets, Maya the Cat and Rascal the Dog, both rescued from animal shelters.
