A dedicated lifeguard keeps their eyes on the water the entire event so you don't have to. Many HOA pools and private venues also require a certified guard on duty before allowing swimming.

How far in advance should I book a lifeguard in Manhattan Beach? For spring and summer weekends, book at least 1–2 weeks ahead. For 4th of July, Memorial Day, and Labor Day weekends, book 3–4 weeks in advance — these dates fill quickly across the South Bay.
