Loan A Lifeguard are responsible for the safety and well-being of all swimmers associated with the pool / water area agreed on during the booking process.

We can only take responsibility for accidents which occur in or around the pool / water area that we are guarding. We are not liable for accidents elsewhere including other pools , lakes etc  throughout the site/event.

For Events and Short Term Lifeguarding:


Once you have received the Invoice , please pay immediately. There will be a link on the Invoice email to click on and pay.

Once payment is received you will be sent the Lifeguard(s) contact details. It is your responsibility to call the lifeguard and go over the event in detail with the lifeguard(s).
If you cannot contact the lifeguard , or you feel that the lifeguard will not attend, we need to be informed at least 72 hours before the actual event , in order to find a replacement for you. There will be no refund offered if this has not been carried out.

It is the responsibility of the client to accurately tell us to the size and depth of the pool / water area and also the maximum number of swimmers which could be in the pool at any one time. The reason for this is that the depths our lifeguards can monitor varies between person to person so we must ensure you have a lifeguard with the suitable qualifications for your event. Similarly when the number of swimmers exceeds 30 you are required to book 2 lifeguards for event. You need at least 1 lifeguard per 30 swimmers. We are not liable for any accidents caused as a result of insufficient communication prior to the event.

It is imperative that we are told prior to the event whether alcohol will be available for swimmers as this can drastically alter your booking.
If alcohol is served and we have not been notified, we are not liable for any injury which has occurred as a direct result of alcohol.

Your lifeguard will arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your event to allow themselves to familiarise themselves with the pool and it’s surroundings.

All our lifeguards have either the NPLQ (National Pool Lifeguard Qualification) or NaRS (National Rescue Standard) qualification with first aid. We do thorough checks of both qualifications and identity prior to employment.

Loan A Lifeguard can only guarantee your booking once full payment has been received prior to your event.

If you want to cancel your booking and receive a full refund you must notify us at least 1 week prior to the agreed start time of your event. Less that 1 week incurs 50% admin charge. If you cancel within 72 hours of your booking the refund is 25%.  There is no refund if the cancellation is within 24hrs of the event start.

Loan A Lifeguard is not liable for any damages or theft which may occur during the event.

Please note that we have in operation a LATE PAYMENT POLICY
