About us

More than a lifeguard agency

Lifeguards and pool management

SDS Group was founded in 2001 by Richard Bernier as a lifeguard services company. In response to our clients’ needs, we have diversified our service offering over the years and evolved into a full service pool management company with a team of over 750 employees : lifeguards, assistant lifeguards, swim instructors, service crews, customer support staff, scheduling and payroll specialists.

Today, SDS Group is trusted by over 175 municipalities, hotels, property managers, condo boards and public institutions for the management of their swimming pools, aquatic activity programs and sports & recreation facilities. We are proud of the excellent reputation we uphold for providing an impeccable and reliable service to all of our clients, big or small.

Let us ensure your aquatic facilities are 100% safe and compliant and that all your lifeguarding and pool related needs are met in a timely and cost-effective manner.
