Pool party lifeguards.

Common questions
How many lifeguards do I need for a pool party?
A common rule of thumb used by many venues is one guard for roughly every 20–25 swimmers — and more coverage for younger kids or weaker swimmers. For a typical backyard birthday party, one certified guard is usually plenty. If you're expecting a big crowd, book two or more separate shifts to cover the whole pool.
Can I book a lifeguard for a party at a rented house or community pool?
Yes — as long as you're allowed to host guests and bring your own water-safety staff at the venue, a Guardly professional can guard there. Just confirm the venue's rules first and share access details (gate codes, parking) through in-app messaging.
How far in advance should I book for a party?
Booking a few days ahead gives you the widest choice of professionals, but same-day requests often work too: broadcast your request and the first available certified guard nearby can accept in minutes.
What does a pool party lifeguard cost?
Pricing is hourly and shown upfront before you confirm — no surprises. Rates can vary with demand, so the fastest way to get an exact number is to start a booking and see your live quote before paying.
