Season Cover

Your Pool, Your Rules.
Our Eyes on It.

When the outdoor pool opens, the house fills up: children, their friends, cousins, neighbours. Season cover puts a qualified lifeguard on poolside for the hours you choose, every week you choose.

Where we can, it is the same lifeguard each time, so they get to know your pool, your rules and your family.

Who It's For

Busy Pools. Busy Families.

School Holidays

The Long Summer

Cover through the summer holidays while the children and their friends are in the pool every day.

Friends Over

The Busy Days

Just the days the pool fills up: weekends with friends, cousins visiting, the neighbours' children round too.

Working Parents

Peace of Mind at Work

You are at work, the nanny or au pair is at home with the children. A lifeguard on poolside means the water is always covered.

Outdoor Pools

From Opening Day

Book your season before the pool opens and have cover in place from the first warm weekend.

Indoor Pools

All Year Round

Indoor pools are busy in every season. Regular cover works for half terms, Christmas and winter weekends too.

Pair With Lessons

Safer Swimmers Too

Many families pair cover with swimming lessons from our coaches, so the children get safer while they play.

How It Works

Three Steps to
Poolside Cover.

01 / 03

Tell Us the Pattern

Which days and hours the pool is busy, whether it is indoor or outdoor, and who usually swims.

02 / 03

We Set Up Your Cover

We match a lifeguard to your pool and dates, and send their documents ahead.

03 / 03

Every Session

Your lifeguard checks the pool on arrival and signs in and out in the app, so you always know cover was there.

Common Questions

Your Questions, Answered.

Can I book the same lifeguard every time?
Where we can, yes. Most families like the same lifeguard each session so they know the pool and the house rules. If your usual lifeguard is unavailable we send another qualified, DBS-checked lifeguard and brief them first.
Can I book cover for some days only?
Yes. Book a regular slot every week, or only the days the pool gets busy. Tell us the pattern and we will set it up around you.
Is it worth having a lifeguard at a family pool?
There is no legal requirement for a private home pool. Families book cover when the pool is busy, when there are young children or weaker swimmers, or when parents are at work and someone else is minding the children.
Will the lifeguard look after the children?
The lifeguard watches the water and keeps the pool rules. Childcare away from the pool stays with you or your nanny: that way the lifeguard's attention never leaves the pool.
What qualifications and insurance do your lifeguards have?
Every lifeguard holds the RLSS UK National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) or an equivalent pool lifeguard award and a current enhanced DBS certificate, and holds their own public liability insurance through RLSS UK lifeguard membership.
Which days and areas do you cover?
London, the Home Counties & beyond, seven days a week, from early mornings to evenings. Send your postcode and the days you have in mind.
