Serving the Ventura and LA Metro areas, Safeguard and Swim is a mobile private swim school founded by Trever Bamber in 2024. Our mission is teach a love of water for life, and bring you the confidence you need to have fun in the water!

Trever’s journey began in the summer of 2019, when he attended a job fair and was approached by a local swim school offering him a position as a lifeguard. While working poolside, he was given the opportunity to teach swim lessons—and quickly discovered a passion for both lifeguarding and instructing.

After a year of gaining valuable experience, Trever transitioned into private lifeguard and swim instruction in 2020. For four years, he worked one-on-one with families, providing personalized, at-home swim education. In 2024, after a brief return to a well-known swim school, Trever realized it was time to build something of his own—and Safeguard and Swim was born.

Trever’s vision was clear: to offer year-round, flexible swim lessons guided by a proven curriculum designed to help children and adults become confident, safe swimmers.

At Safeguard and Swim, we know that drowning is the number one cause of accidental death in children and teens under the age of 14. It’s a heartbreaking and preventable tragedy. Our goal is to change that statistic—one swimmer at a time. Drowning can happen in just seconds and in as little as two inches of water. That’s why we’re committed to making water safety a top priority for every family we serve.

Get water safe today—with Safeguard and Swim.
