Who We Are
At Essex County Lifeguards, we provide certified private pool lifeguards for backyard parties, family gatherings, summer events, and neighborhood celebrations throughout Essex County and North Jersey.
Founded by two local brothers in Glen Ridge, NJ and supported by family, our mission is simple: help families enjoy their pool parties with an extra layer of safety, professionalism, and peace of mind.
Our lifeguards are certified, reliable, and focused on active pool supervision so parents and hosts can relax and enjoy the event. Whether it’s a birthday party, graduation, BBQ, or summer get-together, we bring a calm, professional presence to every poolside event.
We believe hiring a private lifeguard should feel easy, local, and trustworthy — not corporate or complicated. That’s why we focus on clear communication, dependable service, and creating a great experience for every family we work with.
