La Jolla & North San Diego summers are our peak season — we recommend booking event coverage at least two weeks in advance from May through September, and earlier for major weekends (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day). Holiday weekends fill quickly.

We do not publish pricing publicly. Every engagement begins with a private consultation, where we discuss your situation, your pool, your needs, and the appropriate service level. We provide transparent pricing during that conversation. This approach reflects the bespoke nature of our services — there isn't a single "swim lesson price" or "event coverage price" because no two engagements are identical.

You reach 805 LifeGuard's founder, Jasper van der Zwaan, or a member of the small team Jasper has trained personally. We do not use call centers, automated dispatch systems, or third-party booking platforms. Every inquiry is handled by someone who can speak directly to the service.
