About Us

Home to the Levirey brand of aquatics products, ranging from swim apparel to aquatics equipment, specially crafted by aquatics professionals to ensure the highest quality and guarantee your safety in and around the water. Lifeguard LI was founded in 2012 by Steven Grella. Over the past 10+ years, Lifeguard LI has transformed from a Training and Certification program to one of the highest-quality providers of training courses, swim lessons and aquatics services in the tri-state area (if not the country!).

Our Story

Drowning is the #1 cause of death in children under the age of 5, our mission is provide education and resources to water-goers across Long Island to make everyone feel (and be) safer.

As a Police Detective, EMT, lifeguard trainer and swim instructor, Steve Grella understood the importance of water safety and knew from an early age that he needed to spread his knowledge of safety and training to students in the Long Island area. For our 20 years, Steve has assisted his community through life-saving training and education.

As parents of two young children, Steve and his wife Megan felt they had an opportunity to give back by holding group and private lessons in their own backyard for parents and children in their community. From this was born the idea of sharing their knowledge and skills with like-minded water-goers across New York.
