Perched on their high chairs the lifeguards attempt to keep thte fun strictly under control, and anyone caught petting can expect to be severely admonished.

Only sensible lane swimming and synchronised strolling is permitted by our ‘Speedo clad warriors’.

“Thank you so much for all your fabulous work. Your lifeguards were fantastic. We really enjoyed having you there and loved your act.”
– Emily, The Bijou Team EDF Harbour Festival

We set the ladders up either side of a busy walkway and interact with passers by from the ladders and on the ground. We use a sampler with comic sound effects. We can also perform a mobile version on foot with no ladders for busy indoor venues. We have even performed on ice skates at winter wonderland events!

Ideal for public spaces, festivals and conferences where people are on the move. They also lead the public in a a strict stretching and lunging programme in their mission to keep the fun out of sport.
