Golden State Lifeguards, established in 2006 has been a premier provider of privately contracted pool and ocean lifeguards in the Southern California region with much success. We have become a leader in the events industry having worked for many of the top event planners in the business as well as working some of the most dynamic productions in film/TV. Additionally within the last 8 years, the company has become known for its ocean lifeguard division which has steadily gained traction year after year.
The company was founded based on extensive market research in 2006 which revealed that at the time there was no real provider of private lifeguard contractors in the Southern California region being utilized to prevent aquatic injuries and drownings. It was decided that as a new startup company, the focus would be on children, ensuring their well-being and safety at pool parties.
Since its founding, the company has been the most requested provider of lifeguards among a field of many! Our lifeguards are being requested and booked a year in advance!
The company is also known for its proactive role in drowning prevention through educational seminars and working with homeowners in securing their pools to prevent needless drownings. Our educational initiatives also include ocean safety seminars for families or groups planning on visiting any of the Southern California beaches.
The company and its command staff work closely with other municipal agencies and have a established credibility with agencies such as Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority, Los Angeles County Lifeguards, Los Angeles City Fire Department, LAPD, VCSO and even Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department.
In late 2024, Golden State Lifeguards partnered with SEMS Medics based in Las Vegas, NV to offer professional services to Southern Nevada. See press release, https://www.goldenstatelifeguards.com/about/press-releases/
In 2025, Golden State Lifeguards will be partnering with Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority (MRCA) to cover certain beaches in Malibu, CA. Our roles will not only include the beaches but will also include roles in light search & rescue as well as supporting wildland fire operations.
