Private Lifeguard for Hire in Long Beach, CA
Long Beach has it all — a thriving waterfront, diverse neighborhoods, and a year-round pool culture that keeps us busy from Belmont Shore to Naples Island. It's one of the largest cities in Los Angeles County and one of our most active service areas. If you're planning a pool party in Alamitos Beach, a large HOA event near Bixby Knolls, or a private gathering anywhere across Long Beach, Ace's Lifeguarding has you covered with Red Cross-certified, background-checked private lifeguards who know how to run a safe, professional event.
Hiring a private lifeguard in Long Beach isn't just about checking a box — it's about making sure kids and adults can swim freely while you actually enjoy your own event. Every guard we place is CPR and AED certified, arrives with their own equipment, and stays locked in on the water the entire time.
What Events Do We Cover in Long Beach?
Long Beach hosts some of the most varied private events in Southern California — and we staff them all. From intimate backyard birthday parties in Park Estates to large HOA pool events in Signal Hill, from corporate gatherings near the Convention Center to quinceañeras and family reunions across North Long Beach and Lakewood adjacent neighborhoods, our certified lifeguards bring the same level of professionalism to every booking.
We cover all of Long Beach including Belmont Shore, Naples, Alamitos Beach, Bixby Knolls, Signal Hill, Park Estates, Los Altos, and North Long Beach, as well as neighboring communities including Seal Beach, Lakewood, Compton, and Carson.
How Many Lifeguards Do You Need?
A good rule of thumb: one certified lifeguard for every 25 swimmers in the water at one time.
-
Up to 25 swimmers — 1 lifeguard is sufficient
-
25 to 50 swimmers — 2 lifeguards recommended
-
50+ swimmers or multiple pool areas — contact us for a custom staffing plan
Long Beach events tend to run large — if you're expecting a big crowd, don't guess. Call or text (626) 628-5419 and we'll tell you exactly what you need.
What's Included With Every Booking
Every Ace's Lifeguarding booking comes with a fully certified American Red Cross lifeguard trained in open water rescue, CPR, AED, and First Aid. Your guard arrives at least 10 minutes before your event starts to walk the pool area, spot any hazards, and get set up before the first guest jumps in.
They bring their own rescue tube and first aid kit. They're background-checked, professionally dressed, and completely focused on water safety for the entire duration of your event. We carry full liability insurance covering you as the host — so if anything goes wrong, you're protected. Most clients tell us booking a lifeguard is the best decision they made for their event.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lifeguard for my pool party in Long Beach? California law does not require a lifeguard at private residential pools, but the risk is real — drowning is silent, fast, and the leading cause of accidental death in children under five. Many HOA pools and private venues in Long Beach also require a certified guard on duty as a condition of use.
Do you serve Seal Beach, Lakewood, and Signal Hill? Yes. We regularly serve events in Seal Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill, Carson, and Compton in addition to all Long Beach neighborhoods.
How far ahead do I need to book? For summer weekends, 1–2 weeks in advance is ideal. For 4th of July, Memorial Day, or Labor Day, book 3–4 weeks out — those dates fill fast across all of LA.
What equipment do your lifeguards bring? Every guard carries a rescue tube and a fully stocked first aid kit. You don't need to supply anything.
