What does a pool attendant do?

A pool attendant manages the pool deck — verifying residents and guests at entry, conducting safety rounds (TPAC walks the property roughly every 30 minutes), enforcing posted pool rules, organizing furniture, logging incidents in real time, and providing resident hospitality. TPAC attendants also skim the water surface daily, test the pool water twice a day, and deploy umbrellas in the morning and stow them at closing — keeping the amenity safe, clean, and welcoming. Full chemical maintenance and repairs stay with your pool-service company.

Is a pool attendant the same as a lifeguard?

No. A lifeguard is a certified rescuer focused on water safety and liable for active rescue. A pool attendant (or pool monitor) manages access, rules, conduct, and the deck environment but is not a certified lifeguard. Many HOAs choose attendants to control liability and cost while still maintaining a staffed, supervised pool.

Which states does TPAC serve?

TPAC provides pool-attendant and amenity staffing across six states: Texas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Colorado, with regional coverage in the South, Central, and West.

How much does a pool monitor cost?

Pool-monitor cost depends on hours of coverage, number of pools, season length, and location. Most HOAs pay a per-hour rate per staffed pool; TPAC provides a free, itemized 2026 proposal so boards see exact pricing for their schedule before committing.

TPAC serves HOAs, condominium associations, and hotels — any community or property with shared pool amenities that needs reliable, accountable on-deck staffing.
