Sorry guys. I am not a negative reviewer in general. Check out my other positive reviews but this was BAD. They came over an hour late (they said it was a confusion with the "time zone" -- I didn't know that Long Beach and Los Angeles were in two different time zones). I had to chase them to find out why they were late -- they could have at least called me to tell me about this "time zone" issue. Then the lifeguard who did show up, was nice enough but literally sat at the edge of the pool the whole time. Other mothers had to tell her when a child got stuck under a raft, and she was so soft spoken that she could not command the pool. My daughter is 7, we have had lifeguards at every birthday party of hers (unfortunately, the ones we used were booked) and this was the worst yet. The coordinator, Jason, was apologetic enough and said we don't have to pay, but of course I paid (and tipped) because even though it was a terrible, late job, they did actually put in the hours. I would NEVER use them again, and I would be cautious if you do. I hope all the other positive reviews are the norm and my negative one was not. read more
