Cooksey's Lifeguard and Swim Academy has been providing lifeguard services and swim lessons since 2010, after starting with backyard swim lessons and small parties and expanding to multiple contracts with various pool facilities. The program specializes in total aquatic facility management, including hiring, training, and running facility swim camps and swim lessons, and offers lifeguard contracting services to facilities such as country clubs, HOAs, private facilities, and Parks and Recreation. Lifeguards are certified Red Cross lifeguards, and lifeguards for hire are highly trained and fully certified through Red Cross. Swim lessons are offered as in-home private swim lessons, and lessons can be both private and semiprivate, with a request that both children are close to the same swim abilities. Swim instructors use a gentle but firm hand to ensure that children learn to love the water. Cooksey's Lifeguard and Swim Academy also offers an online course to help parents teach their child to swim and an e-book titled "You Can Teach Your Child How to Swim!" available on Amazon. The program states that every child should have the opportunity to learn how to swim safely.
Cooksey's Lifeguard and Swim Academy is described as a fast-growing lifeguard firm based in the Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Diego, and Ventura County areas, and is able to set up and run an aquatic facility anywhere in the United States. The lifeguard for hire service covers Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Glendale, Santa Clarita, Long Beach, Simi Valley, and Ventura, and the program provides lifeguards for photo shoots and filming shoots in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Glendale, Santa Clarita, Long Beach, Burbank, and Pasadena. The team ensures that facilities are running in tip-top shape, is excited to see growth to places outside of Southern California, prides itself on being a tight-knit team and maintaining healthy work relationships, and strives to hire the best team possible to keep pools safe, no matter how big the job.
The leadership team includes Samuel P. Cooksey, Founder and CEO, and Hayley M. Church, Owner and Founder. Samuel has been lifeguarding since 2005 and graduated in the summer of 2011 from CSUB with a BS in Biology. Hayley has been lifeguarding since 2007, has a Master's degree in Recreation, and has taught people of all ages how to swim, from 6 months to 90 years.
To book a lifeguard for an event, Cooksey's Lifeguard and Swim Academy asks for the date of the event, start time, end time, address, and number of swimmers. For film shoots, to get the special price, the program requires a minimum booking of five hours and that the lifeguard be added to the call sheet so they know where to park and who to call if they are having a hard time finding the locations.
