Gardiens de la Vie

What Gardiens de la Vie does

Gardiens de la Vie is a Buenos Aires-based B2B services company that provides professional aquatic safety, sports staffing, and certified medical training to Argentine institutions. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in CABA, the company operates across the city and the broader Gran Buenos Aires corridor (Pilar, Tigre, Escobar, Nordelta, Zona Sur). Its four service lines are professional lifeguard staffing for pools in residential buildings, gated communities, country clubs, hotels, and corporate events; university-educated physical education teachers and fitness instructors for residential gyms and corporate wellness programs; corporate CPR, AED, and first aid training that yields "Espacio Cardioprotegido" certification; and turnkey vacation colony and Mini House recreation programs. The business employs 11-50 people and targets mid-market to enterprise buyers, including consorcios, countries, clubs, hotels, schools, and corporates, with 18 elite client logos displayed on its website.

The core technology is operational rather than platform-centric. Gardiens de la Vie runs a coordination system that schedules lifeguards and PE staff, dispatches replacements in under two hours from an active standby team, and supports 24/7 unannounced field auditing by coordinators. Field personnel are equipped with high-visibility uniforms, closed-frequency radios, complete first aid kits, and AED defibrillators. CPR training uses digital simulation mannequins with real-time depth and compression feedback, aligned with AHA 2025 guidelines. A web-based dynamic pricing calculator estimates instructor, equipment, and session requirements for corporate training requests. The company is fully compliant with Argentine lifeguard regulation (Ley Nacional 27.155 and Ley Provincial 14.798 plus Decreto 3181/2007) and absorbs 100% of operational, legal, and labor risk (ART, civil liability, social security) for its clients.

The revenue model is a mix of recurring subscriptions and project-based services. Lifeguard and physical education staffing are billed monthly under seasonal or annual contracts, with quote-based pricing that includes insurance, equipment, and replacement coverage. CPR and first aid training is priced per session (approximately ARS 375,000 for a 15-participant, four-hour session with two instructors), and vacation colonies plus Mini House programs are billed per program or seasonal contract. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via a B2B inquiry form, WhatsApp business line, and SEO-optimized service pages, with proposals delivered within 24 business hours.

Direct peers
