Pool Party Lifeguard for Hire in Los Angeles
Throwing a pool party? Hire a certified lifeguard so you can host instead of hover. Ace Lifeguarding provides Red Cross-certified, insured, background-checked lifeguards for pool parties, birthdays, and private events across Greater Los Angeles.
The moment guests are in the water — especially kids and guests who aren't strong swimmers, a dedicated lifeguard is the difference between a fun party and a host who can't take their eyes off the pool.
You book a guard, we send a vetted professional with rescue gear who watches the water all day so you don't have to.
From $180 for a 3-hour party, no travel fees in the LA area. Call or text (626) 628-5419.
Should You Hire a Lifeguard for Your Pool Party?
If you're hosting a pool party with children, multiple swimmers, or guests who aren't strong swimmers, yes — you should hire a lifeguard. Here's the honest reason: as the host, you can't watch the water and run the party at the same time. You're greeting guests, handling food, taking photos, and managing a dozen small things — and drowning is silent and fast, especially with kids. A dedicated lifeguard does exactly one job: watch the water and respond instantly if something goes wrong.
There's a liability angle too. Homeowner's insurance often does not cover injuries that happen during an organized gathering, and as the host you can be held responsible if a guest is hurt in your pool. A certified, insured lifeguard is inexpensive peace of mind against the worst day of your life.

What Your Pool Party Lifeguard Does
Your Ace Lifeguarding guard is there to watch the water so you can enjoy your own party. On the day, your lifeguard:
- Provides constant, undistracted surveillance of everyone in and around the pool
- Enforces simple, friendly pool rules (no running, no diving in shallow water, buddy system for kids)
- Watches non-swimmers and young children with extra attention
- Stays ready for immediate rescue and response — rescue tube, first aid kit, CPR/AED
- Does a quick pool safety check before guests get in
- Keeps things relaxed and fun — a guard isn't there to police the party, just to keep it safe
You get to be the host. The water is covered.

Most backyard pool parties are covered by one guard. For larger pools, big guest counts, or multiple water areas, we recommend two. Call (626) 628-5419 if you're not sure what your party needs.
How Many Lifeguards Does My Pool Party Need?
For most home pool parties, one lifeguard is plenty. Consider a second guard if you have a large or oddly shaped pool, a big crowd (roughly 25+ swimmers), a lot of young children, or more than one body of water (pool plus spa, or poolplus a separate splash area). When in doubt, call and describe your setup — we'll tell you honestly what you need rather than upselling you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I hire a lifeguard for my pool party?
Yes — if you are hosting a pool party with children, multiple swimmers, or guests who aren't strong swimmers, you should hire a lifeguard. As the host you can't watch the water and run the party at the same time, and drowning is silent and fast, especially with kids. Homeowner's insurance also often does not cover injuries during organized gatherings, so a certified, insured lifeguard protects both your guests and you.

At Ace Lifeguarding, one certified lifeguard is $180 for a 3-hour minimum ($60 per additional hour), and two lifeguards are $360 for a 3-hour minimum ($120 per additional hour).
