The program offers mobile private lifeguard services that bring pool safety to clients for events nationwide and can provide lifeguards, swim instructors, and trainers across many major metropolitan areas nationwide. The management team is described as a nationwide USA-based management team with no overseas call center or web bot. For events, if clients book more than 3 hours, they are instructed to book the longer time when hiring the lifeguard; if more time is needed during the event, clients can ask the lifeguard to stay longer and then pay any balance due after the party by revisiting the website to pay by credit card or by calling the office for the address to send a check. The program also offers a refund or reschedule option for bad weather if cancellation is at least 4 hours before the event.
In its community involvement, Happy Swimmers states that it is dedicated to making as many pools safe as possible throughout the US and will fill out any paperwork needed for disadvantaged programs, home-school programs, or government assistance programs to get them started with lifeguards or swim instructors. One parent testimonial describes a Happy Swimmers lifeguard at a 6th birthday party who arrived on time, was described as friendly, and pulled a 2-year-old from underwater during a crowded pool situation. Other testimonials describe lifeguards who were on time, prepared, responsible, and knowledgeable at a fourth grade class pool party, and a CPR student who used first aid skills learned from Happy Swimmers on a family member during an allergic reaction and shock. Additional testimonials describe instructors working with children ages 2½, 4, 5, 6, and 7, focusing on water safety, helping children learn how to climb out of the pool and ask permission before getting in, and working with different personalities and swimming experience levels. Another testimonial notes hiring a private lifeguard for a party of over 200 people, with the lifeguard calling to confirm beforehand, arriving on time despite a blackout from storms the day before, and staying later than originally scheduled.
