Services



MVP Lifeguards provides American Red Cross Aquatics Training for the novice as well as the advanced swimmer to become a certified lifeguard. We also offer a Learn to Swim program for students who want to swim recreationally and be safe in and around the water.


Once certified, we offer résumé assistance and interview coaching to prepare our lifeguards to “ace” the interview and get the job! Our Job Forum event affords opportunities to meet with prospective employers. In addition, we refer lifeguards individually for job placement within our exclusive network.
