What We Do

We are the UK’s largest independent provider of fully qualified lifeguards and spa operatives for permanent, short term and long term hire.

Our Mission
Our mission is to save lives and promote water safety by providing fully qualified, professional lifeguards and spa operatives across the UK.
We deliver reliable, compliant, and responsive lifeguard services — from permanent staffing to short-notice event cover — supported by expert training and assessment. As proud partners of the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS), we share a commitment to creating safer environments in and around water for everyone.
And Safety Is Key
Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Every pool, beach, or open water carries potential risks — and even the most experienced swimmers can get into difficulty unexpectedly. Having the right safety measures, trained professionals, and rapid response in place can mean the difference between life and death.

Our lifeguards are not only trained to prevent accidents before they happen but are also fully equipped to act instantly and effectively in an emergency. By prioritising safety, we protect lives, reduce liability for our clients, and create calm, confident environments where everyone can enjoy the water with peace of mind.

Thank you for providing your services on The Almost Impossible Gameshow. The lifeguard was always friendly and on hand despite the odd hours we were working on set. We felt safer knowing that he was around for all the pool games we were filming. We would not hesitate to use you and your team again.

Loan a Lifeguard offers an excellent service that’s life-saving in more than one sense. Many times, I have called upon them to provide cover for an impromptu children’s pool party, and they have come up trumps. The lifeguards themselves are competent, sociable and great with kids.

Loanalifeguard provided us with a fully qualified, professional lifeguard for a commercial radio shoot involving a swimming pool. They were efficient and courteous, and I’d highly recommend them.

Please pass on my thanks to the 2 x lifeguards they were great. I am glad to hear that they enjoyed the experience! I know it’s a bit of an unusual one living on an island.

Our event was an odd one as it required a lifeguard on a film set with many things going on at once. The lifeguard was very presentable, polite and made a real effort to socialise with the crew and make himself known to everyone. He was also prepared and alert during the water scenes to prevent anything going wrong.

Wedding Anniversary and Birthday Party 11pm – 7am Everything went well on Friday night although somewhat challenging on our side keeping an eye on everybody! Ben was excellent. He was calm, patient and very professional when occasionally there was over boisterous behaviour. It was very reassuring to have him here throughout the party.

Thank you so much for sending Josef to lifeguard at our daughter’s swimming pool party. He was lovely and fun and even came up with some pool games to keep the kids entertained! Your ability to find me a lifeguard at such short notice (within 24h) was amazing – thank you so much for helping us out and also for sending us such a great lifeguard! We’ll definitely use your services again and recommend you to anyone who needs a lifeguard.

Dear all, First and foremost, a huge thank you Loan A Lifeguard Ltd. to all of you for your efforts and support for KRUG Island last week. I know that it was logistically a very testing event and that you all put in considerable time and concentration to pull it off… so THANK YOU!

Dear LAL, I thank you very much for your support in the last weeks. Without your lifeguards we would have had lots of problems, because we had much more guests as we estimated. It is a good idea to discuss the summer season in March next year with you. I will call you: Thank you very much!
Stefan (Manager)Scarborough Aqua Park
Just to let you know that Vishnu was absolutely brilliant yesterday and was just what I needed to ensure the day ran smoothly. He was confident enough to inform us that the pool was too cloudy (the owner had ‘shocked’ the pool that morning) and was wise enough to advise us we should only use half of the pool (the shallow end) for safety reasons. The other lifeguards would not have raised this, and for that I was very grateful. Nothing was too much trouble and he was very polite and great with the kids. We will definitely be requesting him again when the time comes! Thanks so much!
