About us

More than a lifeguard agency

Lifeguards and pool managers

SDS Group (SDS Service de sauveteurs) was founded in 2001 by Richard Bernier, who also owns and operates its sister company Québec Natation, which just happens to be the largest swimming lesson school in Quebec. In 2009, Stéphane Joly joined the management team as associate and director to help meet a growing demand for lifeguard services from companies and organizations.

Today, SDS Group supplies lifeguards to over 125 pools across the province of Quebec each year. We have expanded and diversified our service offering, in response to our clients’ needs to include, among other things, the management of swimming pools, aquatic activity programs and sports and recreational facilities.

At SDS Group, we are proud of the excellent reputation we uphold for providing impeccable service. We ensure our clients have everything they require by providing them with a one-stop shop that covers all their needs.
