Please note: We will not be
providing Lifeguards during school hours.
If your pool is managed by SwimAtlanta, please notify us of any
party that you are planning on hosting whether it requires a
Lifeguard or not. If an unexpected party creates more swimmers than
the Lifeguard can safely watch, the pool may close temporarily until
adjustments to staff can be made. SwimAtlanta does not provide
lifeguard coverage to pools that are not currently managed by
SwimAtlanta Pool Management. Please read the following informational
sections and book your Lifeguard(s) below.
LIFEGUARDS WILL ARRIVE AT THE START TIME OF YOUR PARTY.
IF YOU WANT THE LIFEGUARD THERE IN ADVANCE FOR ANY REASON, YOU
MUST REFLECT THAT IN THE START TIME OF YOUR PARTY.
PAYMENT IS EXPECTED AT THE TIME YOU BOOK YOUR PARTY.
PARTIES ARE NOT FULLY CONFIRMED UNTIL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED.
PARTIES NOT PAID IN ADVANCE WILL BE SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION.
PARTIES WITHOUT TWO WEEKS NOTICE MAY NOT BE STAFFED.
Determining quantity of Lifeguards
1 Lifeguard is required per 25 people. Due
to insurance requirements, there can be absolutely no exceptions
on the number of lifeguards per party. The total number of
attendees includes everyone attending the party, not estimated
swimmers.
One (1) additional lifeguard is required
for any party involving teenagers, college-age people, or
parties involving alcohol.
If your party is during a time when a
Lifeguard is already on duty and you have less than 25 people in
your group you still may need to hire an additional Lifeguard.
Adding your party to the swimmers that would normally be in
attendance may cause the total quantity of swimmer to exceed
25. The date, time of day and past pool usage all help
determine average pool attendance. Please call our office so we
can help you determine whether you will need additional
Lifeguard(s) during times when a Lifeguard is normally on duty.
If you choose to have your party during a
period that your pool has "Swim at Your Own Risk" and would like
to hire a Lifeguard, we must consider adding the amount of
people in your party to the swimmers that would normally be in
attendance. This may cause the total quantity of swimmer to
exceed 25. Everyone in the entire pool area becomes
the responsibility of the Lifeguard. The date, time of day
and past pool usage all help determine average pool attendance.
Please call our office so we can help you determine the number
of Lifeguards you will need.
For a party involving children, the party
sponsor must provide one adult chaperone for every 10 children
under age of 18.
