Hire a lifeguard for any occasion
One certified pro, or season-long coverage — it's your call.
What "verified" actually means here
Anyone can say "vetted." Here's exactly what every Guardly professional goes through before they can accept your booking.
Certification check
A current lifesaving certification is required and verified — and if it's close to expiring, a current CPR certification too.
Identity verification
Government-issued ID and a real profile photo are required at signup. No anonymous accounts, ever.
Trust profile & reviews
Two-sided reviews after every booking build a track record you can read before you confirm.
Upfront pricing
The full price — hourly rate, travel fee, tax — is shown before you pay. No quotes, no haggling, no surprises.
Live arrival tracking
Watch your professional head your way on a live map, so you're never wondering if they'll show.
Book in minutes
Broadcast a request and the first available certified pro nearby can accept — often within minutes.

Hiring a lifeguard, explained
How do I hire a lifeguard near me?
Search your city on Guardly, pick a certified professional (or broadcast your request to all nearby pros), choose your date and hours, and confirm with the price shown upfront. Most requests are accepted within minutes when professionals are available nearby.
Are Guardly lifeguards certified?
Yes. Every professional must hold a current lifesaving certification, which we verify, and pass identity verification with a government ID and profile photo before they can accept a single booking.
How much does it cost to hire a lifeguard?
Pricing is hourly and always shown before you confirm — including any travel fee and tax. Rates can vary by city and demand, so start a booking to see your exact live quote. There's no charge to look.
Can I hire a lifeguard for just a few hours?
Yes — bookings are by the hour, so you can hire a guard for a two-hour swim session or a full-day event. If the fun runs long, request a shift extension mid-booking and your guard can accept on the spot.
Are the lifeguards Guardly employees?
Guardly professionals are independent, certified contractors who choose their own schedules. Guardly verifies their certifications and identity, handles booking and secure payment, and collects two-sided reviews after every shift.
